(5 Sep 2014) Separatist leaders announced their commitment to a ceasefire in eastern Ukraine on Friday, that will take effect at 1800 local time (1500GMT).
Speaking at the Trilateral Contact Group negotiations in Minsk, the leaders of the self-proclaimed Luhansk and Donetsk People's Republics made the announcement alongside Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe representative Heidi Tagliavini.
Tagliavini told reporters the deal reached consisted of 12 points but she did not immediately spell them out before heading back into the talks.
Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko also declared a ceasefire on Friday, ending nearly five months of fighting in the nation's east after his representatives reported a deal had been reached with the Russian-backed rebels in Minsk.
