From our news desk:
Moscow says the killing of a Russian TV cameraman in eastern Ukraine just before a cease-fire is due to expire shows Kyiv does not want to de-escalate the conflict.
The Russian Foreign Ministry said the shooting of cameraman Anatoly Klyan on June 30 shows Kyiv is undermining the current cease-fire before it ends at 2100 Prague time.
Klyan, 68, was shot while filming near a pro-Kyiv military unit in the Donetsk region.
The origin of the gunfire that killed Klyan is unclear.
He is the third Russian journalist to die in the conflict and the fifth journalist overall.
French President Francois Hollande and German Chancellor Angela Merkel are expected to phone the presidents of Ukraine and Russia on June 30 to support extending the cease-fire.
They also phoned Ukraine's Petro Poroshenko and Russia's Vladimir Putin on June 29.
Here is the harrowing video showing the moments after cameraman Anatoly Klyan was shot in the stomach.
The "Kyiv Post" has a more detailed account of the circumstances leading up to the death of the Russian cameraman, Anatoly Klyan, including a harrowing, but not particularly gory, video.
