Ukraine Orders Full Military Alert, as New Casualties Strain Cease-fire
Ukraine has ordered its armed forces to maintain "full combat readiness" near the Russian border, after new fighting and reports of at least 12 more fatalities further strained an already-shaky cease-fire with pro-Russian separatists.
Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk's order came Wednesday, as separatists in the rebel-held city of Donetsk reported two shelling deaths in a residential area and Ukrainian authorities reported at least 10 fatalities in a nearby town.
