Violence in Ukraine’s southeast continues despite the February ceasefire agreement signed by representatives of Kiev and the self-proclaimed people’s republics of Donetsk and Lugansk in the Belarusian capital, Minsk.

Both Kiev and DPR and LPR (Lugansk People’s Republic) have accused each other of ceasefire violations.

According to UN estimates, fighting in eastern Ukraine, which started in mid-April 2014, has killed over 6,500 people.
