Ukraine and Russia to announce another ceasefire
By EUobserver
Ukraine, Russia, and the OSCE will announce a ceasefire Wednesday, according to a joint statement by Russia, Germany, France and Ukraine. Respective leaders Vladimir Putin, Angela Merkel, Emmanuel Macron, and Petro Poroshenko said they hope it would lead "to a stable improvement of the situation" in Donbass, over which Russia-backed separatists and the Ukrainian army have fought since 2014. Past ceasefires, including recently in June, have consistently been broken.
