Some good news for a city in western Ukraine:
Seven Ukrainian Soldiers Reported Killed In Eastern Conflict
Ukraine says seven of its servicemen have been killed and nine others wounded in the country’s east over the past 24 hours.
National Security Council head Oleksandr Turchynov said on May 24 that it is the largest number of casualties in the region in a single day so far this year.
The announcement came as the leaders of Russia, France, Germany, and Ukraine spoke by telephone on May 24 about ways to settle the conflict.
Fighting between Ukrainian government forces and Russia-backed separatists in eastern Ukraine has killed more than 9,300 people since April 2014.
A February 2015 agreement brokered by France and Germany has helped reduce the violence, but sporadic clashes have continued.
