Ukrainian forces denied allegations by pro-Russian separatists that they had launched a new offensive in eastern Ukraine on Thursday, saying they were strictly adhering to a ceasefire agreement that has come under increasing strain.
Sporadic violence has flared since the Sept. 5 truce, but the ceasefire has looked particularly fragile this week with both separatists and the central government accusing each other of violating the terms of a 12-point peace plan.
