俄烏總統就烏克蘭危機問題基本達成一致
A Russian official says President Vladimir Putin and his Ukrainian counterpart, Petro Poroshenko, largely agree on what needs to be done to resolve the Ukraine crisis.
Russian news agencies quote presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov as saying the two leaders exchanged views in a phone conversation on ways to stop the "bloodshed" in southeastern Ukraine. Peskov said the views of Mr. Putin and Mr. Poroshenko "largely coincide" on possible ways out of the crisis.
Ukrainian troops and pro-Russian rebel forces have engaged in fierce clashes in eastern Ukraine. A Ukrainian military spokesman, Andriy Lysenko, said Tuesday that 15 Ukrainian soldiers have been killed in fighting in the east since early Monday.
Most of the fighting has been around the city of Donetsk, the rebels' largest stronghold and one of two major cities controlled by pro-Russian rebels seeking autonomy from Ukrainian rule.
The other city is Luhansk.俄羅斯官員說，普京總統和烏克蘭總統波羅申科就解決烏克蘭危機所需條件的問題基本達成一致。
俄羅斯媒體援引總統發言人佩斯科夫的話說，兩位領導人通了電話，就結束烏克蘭東南部地區流血衝突的途徑問題交換了看法。佩斯科夫說，對於可能解決危機的途徑問題，普京和波羅申科的看法基本一致。
烏克蘭軍隊和親俄反政府武裝力量一直在烏克蘭東部激戰。烏克蘭軍方發言人利申科星期二說，自星期一凌晨以來，有15名烏克蘭軍人在烏克蘭東部陣亡。
大部分戰鬥發生在頓涅茨克周邊地區。頓涅茨克是分離分子最大的根據地，也是親俄分離分子佔據的兩個主要城市之一。叛亂分子爭取從烏克蘭統治下獲得自治。
分離分子佔據的另一個城市是盧甘斯克。
