Ukraine crisis: Further weapons withdrawals agreed
Russia and Ukraine have agreed to call for the withdrawal of more types of weapons in Ukraine's east, as fresh clashes renew fears for a truce there, the BBC reported.
The deal was made at talks in Berlin involving foreign ministers from the two countries, and France and Germany.
It reportedly covers mortars, tanks and heavy weapons below 100mm calibre.
A joint final statement by the ministers in Berlin expressed "concern" at the escalation.
"What is decisive is that in light of the worsening situation, we agreed today not only to continue with the withdrawal of heavy weapons but also to include other categories of weapons in the withdrawal," German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said.
