A Ukrainian soldier has been killed in fighting with pro-Moscow separatists as the US again warns Russia against any attacks on the country
A Ukrainian soldier has been killed in fighting with pro-Moscow separatists, as the US again warned Russia against any attacks on the country.
"One serviceman of the Joint Forces was fatally wounded," the Ukrainian army said in a statement, adding that separatists had launched three attacks within 24 hours. The separatists reportedly used grenade launchers and small arms. The army gave no further details of how the soldier was killed. In his New Year's Eve address, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said ending the war in the east remains his "main goal".
Kiev has been battling a pro-Moscow uprising in two breakaway regions bordering Russia since 2014, when the Kremlin annexed Ukraine’s Crimean peninsula.
