A cease-fire in Ukraine was cautiously observed by both sides, despite accusations by Kiev and the US that Russia had fueled a final push by rebels to gain territory before the deadline. Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko ordered troops to abide by the truce from midnight, in line with a deal reached in Minsk earlier this week with the leaders of Russia, Germany and France.
