NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg urged Russia to pull back its forces from eastern Ukraine and respect the wobbly truce that has been in place since September.

The conflict has intensified since rebels held elections earlier this month. Three Ukrainian soldiers were killed by separatists over the past 24 hours, the Defense Ministry said on Facebook today. In Donetsk, 12 citizens were wounded by shelling over the weekend, the city council said on its website.
