No lull in fighting for Donetsk despite talk of Ukraine ceasefire
Prolonged artillery shelling rocked residential apartment blocks on Wednesday in Donetsk, casting doubts over renewed talk of a ceasefire and an end to Ukraine's six-month-old conflict.
Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin said he and his Ukrainian counterpart Petro Poroshenko were "very close" in their views on how to end the fighting between Ukrainian government forces and pro-Russian separatists and a peace deal could be reached this week.
