Newsweek: Ukraine Condemns Ceasefire Violations by Russia-Backed Troops as Invasion Fears Rise
Kyiv says two of its servicemen were injured by shelling in the Donbas region from Moscow-backed forces it accuses of repeated ceasefire breaches, as international concerns grow about a Russian military buildup by Ukraine's border.
