Ukraine signs buffer zone deal with pro-Russians
Ukraine signs buffer zone deal with pro-Russians, Ukrainian forces and pro-Russian militias were due on Saturday to pull back their troops from a demilitarised zone created under a new peace plan agreed in marathon overnight talks.
- Both sides agree to withdraw troops from the buffer zone
- Forces are required to retreat 15 km from current frontlines
Kiev: Ukrainian forces and pro-Russian militias were due on Saturday to pull back their troops from a demilitarised zone created under a new peace plan agreed in marathon overnight talks.
A nine-point agreement thrashed out in the Belarussian capital Minsk also requires the withdrawal of all "mercenaries" from the conflict zone and an immediate end to hostilities.

But Russia appeared ready to keep up the pressure on its westward-leaning neighbour by sending in a new 30-truck convoy it said was carrying aid for the rebel-held city of Donetsk, but that Ukraine never approved.
Former Ukrainian president Leonid Kuchma - who is representing Kiev in the stuttering efforts to resolve the five-month conflict - said the agreement rested on the creation of a 30-kilometre (19-mile) buffer zone.Forces from both sides are required to retreat 15 kilometres from current frontlines within 24 hours of the signing of the accord and allow monitors from the OSCE pan-European security organisation into the area to make sure the truce holds. The areas under rebel control would be left open to their administration under a temporary self-rule plan adopted by lawmakers in Kiev on Tuesday.
The Minsk pact - also signed by Moscow's ambassador to Kiev and the self-proclaimed "prime ministers" of the rebel-run regions of Donetsk and Lugansk - aims to shore up a ceasefire deal agreed two weeks ago.
