Violence in east Ukraine kills one government serviceman - military source


KIEV (Reuters) - One Ukrainian government serviceman was killed and another was wounded in eastern Ukraine despite a ceasefire deal with pro-Russian rebels who have taken up arms there, a military source said on Wednesday.

Both Ukrainians and rebels accuse each other of violating a ceasefire agreement that went into effect on Feb. 15. Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has called the deal the last chance for peace between Kiev and pro-Russian rebels.
