Ukraine: Hasty Debaltseve retreat in the face of overrunning odds
In Ukraine, government forces have pulled out of a strategic town in the east of the country, where troops were fighting against Russianbacked separatists. Ukraine s President today called it a planned and organised withdrawal from Debaltseve following a fierce assault by rebels. There is supposed to be a ceasefire in region, after a deal agreed earlier this week. The town stands in the middle of buffer zones set up by the deal on both sides from where heavy weaponry was meant to have been withdrawn.
