EU, Ukraine leaders meet as shelling worsens, one Ukrainian soldier killed

KIEV (Reuters) - Top European Union officials met the Ukrainian leadership on Monday for talks on deepening trade links and efforts to bring peace to Ukraine, but worsening violence in the separatist-minded east clouded the summit.

As Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko met European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker and European Council President Donald Tusk, Kiev's military reported intensifying attacks by pro-Russian rebels in the east and south-east.
