Ukraine has been engulfed in violent internal conflict since mid-April, when Kiev began its military operation against independence supporters in the southeastern regions of the country. According to UN estimates, over 3,600 have been killed in eastern Ukraine so far.
The sides agreed on a ceasefire at a meeting of the Contact Group on Ukraine, held in Minsk on September 5.
Since the establishment of the ceasefire regime, the conflicting sides have repeatedly accused each other of violating the agreement.
