Pro-Russia rebels in eastern Ukraine say they will observe a ceasefire until Friday morning, responding to the Ukrainian forces’ unilateral ceasefire.
The rebel announcement was made in Donetsk by Alexander Borodai, leader of the self-styled “Donetsk People’s Republic” which is defying Kiev.
On Friday, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko announced a 15-point peace plan and declared a week-long truce.
Mr Borodai spoke after attending preliminary peace talks in Donetsk.
