There hasn’t been much media attention paid to the situation between Ukraine and Russia lately. However, violence in eastern Ukraine is at its worst level in months, with a series of deadly attacks over the past week. Most recently, seven Ukrainian soldiers were killed fighting Russian-backed rebels in the east of the country, the military said.
Ukraine said the troops were killed by shelling, mostly in the Luhansk region, that also left 24 soldiers injured. A ceasefire agreed as part of a peace deal signed in Minsk in September has been repeatedly violated by both sides.
