KIEV (Reuters) - Ukraine's military said on Wednesday none of its troops had been killed at the front in the last 24 hours and only one had been wounded, with a spokesman describing it as the first day with no fatalities in "at least several weeks".

A ceasefire came into effect on Feb 15 but last week saw heavy fighting with separatist rebels advancing to seize a major town in one of the biggest battles of the war.
