Deutsche Welle: Fighting intensifies in eastern Ukraine despite ceasefire
Eastern Ukraine has witnessed the worst clashes since the Minsk ceasefire deal was brokered in February. European observers continue to call for peace amid ceasefire violations by both parties.
A Ukrainian soldier was killed and six others wounded over the last 24 hours," Andy Lysinko, Ukraine's military spokesman, said at a news briefing on Sunday.
Lysneko added that the rebels used large-caliber artillery in violation of the Minsk protocol.
The shelling of Donetsk, considered the separatists' central hub, has resumed following weeks of calm, leaving at least six rebels wounded, the separatists' official website reported.
The intensified clashes follow the one year anniversary of unrest in Odessa that left more than 40 pro-Russia rebels dead in May 2014.
