Ukraine crisis: Soldiers using truce to 'rearm and re-group'

The Ukrainian authorities say that three servicemen have been killed in eastern Ukraine, after two days without casualties had raised hopes that the truce between government forces and pro-Russian separatists might hold.

A military spokesman said that fighting had halted along most of the front line, but clashes continued near Donetsk airport.

Paul Wood reports from the nearby village of Peski.
