Ukraine’s government said none of its troops were killed or wounded in skirmishes with pro-Russian rebels during a 24-hour period for the first time in months.
“This is very good news,” Andriy Lysenko, a spokesman for Ukraine’s military, told reporters in the capital Kiev on Saturday. Still, some rebels continue testing a cease-fire accord with sporadic shelling and shooting, mainly near the cities of Donetsk, Artemivsk and Volnovakha, he said.
