Ukraine announced on today that it would begin
withdrawing artillery from the front line with separatist rebels in the east, a
move that amounts to recognition that a ceasefire entered on Feb 15 is holding
at last.
The pro-Russian rebels have already been pulling back heavy weapons for
two days, but Kiev had held back, arguing that fighting had not yet ceased.
However, the army reported no combat fatalities at the front for a
second straight day on Thursday, the first time no troops have been killed
since long before the French- and German-brokered truce was meant to take
effect.
