Kiev (AFP) – Ukraine’s army will halt fire across the separatist east on December 9 under the terms of a Russian-brokered peace deal signed in September, President Petro Poroshenko said on Thursday. A source in Poroshenko’s office told AFP that the president’s statement, published on his official website, meant that Ukraine would begin withdrawing heavy weapons from the eastern frontline on December 10 — as long as the separatists also observe the truce.
