Ukrainian President Poroshenko Confirms Both Sides Have Withdrawn Their Heavy Weapons



BBC: Ukraine crisis: Poroshenko confirms rebel weapons moved

Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko says pro-Russian rebels in the east have withdrawn a "significant" amount of heavy weapons.

Speaking on TV, Mr Poroshenko said his government forces had also pulled back "the lion's share" of their rocket and heavy artillery systems.

Under a ceasefire reached in February both sides were due to pull back heavy weapons by the beginning of March.

The ceasefire appears to be taking hold despite continuing clashes.

The opposing sides have accused each other of breaking the truce or using it as a cover to regroup.
