The United Nations urges restraint by all parties in eastern Ukraine amid fresh shelling that violates a ceasefire under the Minsk Agreement.

“If verified, these must not be allowed to escalate further. We call on all sides to exercise maximum restraint at this sensitive time,” Rosemary DiCarlo, the UN undersecretary general, tells a Security Council meeting on Ukraine.
