Rebel leader in Donetsk, OSCE on fighting

(1 Feb 2017) Ukraine has suffered big losses in the recent escalation of fighting in eastern Ukraine, the leader of self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic Alexander Zakharchenko told journalists on Wednesday. Heavy fighting around government-held Avdiivka, just north of the rebel-stronghold city of Donetsk, began over the weekend and persisted into early on Wednesday. Donetsk city also was hit. The Ukrainian government and the rebels have blamed each other for the eruption of hostilities, the worst in months. Both sides have moved heavy artillery, rockets and tanks close to the front line in clear violation of a peace deal struck two years ago. What sparked the recent escalation is unclear, although Ukraine's military has acknowledged that its troops have gained some ground around Avdiivka.
