Ukraine President Says 64 Soldiers Killed since Feb. 15 Ceasefire

A total of 64 soldiers have been killed in eastern Ukraine since a ceasefire deal between Kiev and pro-Russian rebels went into effect on February 15, President Petro Poroshenko said Monday.

While the shaky truce has been largely holding, sporadic clashes have continued with both sides accusing the other of violating the European-brokered, Russian-backed peace deal signed in the Belarussian capital last month.
