Ukraine - Feb 17

Over the past twenty four hours, two days after the ceasefire was supposed to come into effect in the Donbass War, the forces of the DPR report over ninety-four casualties sustained by the Ukrainian armed forces in the fight over the Debaltseve pocket.  Approximately five thousand soldiers of the UAF remain trapped within the pocket and as of yet, there appears to be no response from the Ukrainian government in regards to mass surrenders or attempts to break out of the enclosure.
