Bloomberg: Ukraine Blames Rebels for Shelling Troops as Truce in Place

(Bloomberg) -- Ukraine blamed pro-Russian rebels for complicating the situation in the east as skirmishes killed two government soldiers and left seven wounded less than two months into a cease-fire.

Separatists fired on Ukraine troops 30 times during the day Saturday, the Defense Ministry said on Facebook. They were also redeploying and procuring more weapons and military vehicles from Russia, Andriy Lysenko, a Ukrainian military spokesman, said earlier in Kiev.
