Ukraine Rebels Agree To Pull Heavy Weapons From Front Line, Swap Prisoners With Kiev

Pro-Russian rebels fighting in eastern Ukraine have agreed to begin pulling heavy weapons from the front line of the conflict, according to a Russian general involved in implementing the ceasefire, cited by the BBC. General Alexander Lentsov said the rebels had signed orders to complete the withdrawal over the next two weeks, starting from Sunday. The authorities in Kiev have not said whether they will follow suit, but Lentsov reportedly said that the government had been informed of the rebel's intentions.
