Fighting Continues Despite Ceasefire in Eastern Ukraine 
--------------------------------------------------------


 
A ceasefire is under threat in eastern Ukraine after taking effect this
weekend. Sporadic fighting has broken out in several areas. The
Ukrainian military says separatists have continued attacks, while the
rebels accuse Ukrainian forces of deploying heavy artillery. The pact
calls for an end to attacks and the withdrawal of heavy weapons from the
front lines. Ukraine says it will not withdraw some heavy artillery, and
shelling from both sides continues in the city of Debaltseve.
