One Ukrainian soldier has been killed in clashes between Russia-backed separatists and government forces in the east of the country, Ukraine’s military says.

Ukrainian military spokesman Oleksandr Motuzyanyk said on February 21 that the soldier had died in a sniper attack on the government-held town of Maryinka, a recent flashpoint located 20 kilometers southwest of Donetsk.

He said the situation along the front line was “insecure,” accusing the rebels of violating a shaky truce agreement over the past 24 hours.
