Separatist leader Vladislav Deynego was quoted by the Interfax news agency as confirming implementation of the agreement, which stipulates that weapons with a caliber of 100 millimetres will be withdrawn at least three kilometres from the front lines. The region of Donetsk also announced a withdrawal of weapons. Russia had called on Ukraine to withdraw its troops from the front as agreed in the February Minsk peace accord. (Photo by STR/NurPhoto)
