Council members will hear a report from the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, whose observers are monitoring the ceasefire in eastern Ukraine. So far, the UN Security Council has carried out 30 sessions on conflict in Ukraine. Although warring parties in Ukraine have started withdrawing heavy weapons from the front line, conflicts erupted in Ukraine injuring a number of people. The Ukrainian government claimed that three Ukrainian soldiers were killed in the past 24 hours, despite the cease-fire, saying these incidents puts the truce agreement recently reached in Minsk at risk.
