PANEVEZYS, Lithuania (Reuters) - Ukraine's defence minister said on Thursday Russia had moved forces into eastern Ukraine and there was a risk of fighting resuming between the army and pro-Russian separatists in coming months.

Violence has been less intense in Ukraine's east since a ceasefire was brokered in Minsk in February, but the two sides regularly accuse each other of violating the truce.
