At least one Ukrainian soldier was killed on Thursday in an attack in the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine, as reported by the Eastern Tactical Task Force, part of the deployment of the Ukrainian Army in this area of the country.Thus, he has indicated in a statement published on his account on the social network Facebook that “the Russian Armed Forces have once again violated the ceasefire,” before adding that mortars and light weapons were used in the attack.
The Donetsk and Lugansk provinces, in eastern Ukraine, have been experiencing an armed conflict for years between government troops and pro-Russian separatists, without international mediation efforts having made it possible to put an end to the war.
The Minsk agreements, signed in September 2014 and February 2015, laid the foundations for a political solution to the conflict, but so far they have not led to the cessation of violence, the result of which the United Nations estimates at some 13,000 deaths.
