Here's another update from RFE/RL's news desk:
The Ukrainian military says that three Ukrainian soldiers have been killed and eight injured in attacks by pro-Russian separatists over the past 24 hours -- the first casualties since a fresh truce deal in eastern Ukraine went into effect on December 9.
Military spokesman Andriy Lysenko said on December 11 that Ukraine's army also registered 22 shelling attacks by separatists during the previous 24 hours.
In Moscow, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Aleksandr Lukashevich said on December 11 that Russia is sparing no effort to convene another round of peace talks.
A cease-fire agreed on September 5 in Minsk has been repeatedly violated, with more than 1,000 people killed since the deal was signed.
A fresh round of talks in Minsk had been expected this week, but the renewed violence has clouded prospects for the resumption of talks.
