In eastern Ukraine, fighting rages on in the outskirts of the rebel stronghold of Donetsk despite peace talks this week.

The violence comes after more than a month of relative calm. The fighting had mostly subsided after a cease-fire deal in February, but violence began again in recent days.

Ukrainian military spokesman Andriy Lysenko told a televised briefing that six troops were killed and 12 wounded during the 24-hour period. It's the highest death toll since February.

On Monday, Russians in Ukraine agreed to call for the pullback of smaller caliber weapons from the frontlines.  

Since it began a year ago, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine has killed more than 6,000 people and destroyed parts of Ukraine's industrial properties.
