歐盟呼籲烏克蘭各方立即停火大綱
The European Union's foreign policy chief has called for an immediate truce in eastern Ukraine, where fresh fighting has killed three people, according to officials.
Witnesses saw at least three bodies outside a hospital that was hit by shells in the rebel-held city of Donetsk on Wednesday.
In a statement, the EU's Federica Mogherini said the "fighting, provoked by the continued separatist offensive, notably around Debaltseve, is causing great human suffering and undermines all efforts aimed at a political solution."
"The shelling of civilians, wherever it happens, is a grave violation of international humanitarian law. Artillery should immediately be withdrawn from residential areas," she continued.
Mogherini called for the establishment of a "local temporary truce for a minimum of three days, taking immediate effect."
Fighting has raged in the self-declared separatist regions of Donetsk and Luhansk, especially around the Ukrainian-controlled town of Debaltseve, since the rebels launched a new offensive late last month and peace talks in Belarus between the two sides collapsed Saturday.歐盟外交政策主管呼籲烏克蘭東部交戰各方立即停火。 當地官員說，最新戰鬥造成3人死亡。
反政府武裝控制的頓涅茨克市一家醫院星期三受到到炮擊，目擊者看到至少三具屍體。
歐盟外交政策主管費代麗卡•莫蓋里尼說，分離分子連續發動攻勢引發戰鬥，特別是在德巴爾切夫附近的戰鬥造成巨大痛苦，破壞了推動政治解決的努力。她還說，無論在什麼地方，炮擊平民都嚴重違反國際人道主義法律。 火炮應立即撤離居民區。
莫格里尼呼籲雙方立即停火，停火期至少三天。
自從反政府武裝上個月底發動新一輪進攻，以及雙方上週六在白俄羅斯的和平談判破裂之後，分離分子自行宣佈獨立的頓涅茨克和盧甘斯克爆發了激烈戰鬥，特別是在烏克蘭控制的城鎮德巴爾切夫周圍。
