Ukraine & Rebels Sign Ceasefire Truce Deal

Ukraine and pro-Russian rebels in the east have signed a truce deal to end almost five months of fighting. The two sides agreed to stop firing by 15:00 GMT and the truce appeared to be holding. But the rebels said the truce had not changed their policy of advocating splitting from Ukraine.

Meanwhile, NATO has agreed to form a multi-national “spearhead” force capable of deploying within 48 hours.

The takeover – which followed the annexation by Russia of the southern Crimea peninsula in March – prompted a military operation by Ukrainian forces to retake the cities.
