| Ukraine deal with pro-Russian rebels | |
| (35 minutes later) | |
| Ukraine's government and pro-Russia rebels have agreed a memorandum on a peace plan for the eastern conflict. | |
| The deal includes setting up a 30km (19-mile) buffer zone, a ban on overflights of part of eastern Ukraine by military aircraft and the withdrawal of foreign mercenaries on both sides. | |
| The agreement was announced at talks in the Belarusian capital Minsk, where a ceasefire was agreed two weeks ago. | |
| More than 3,000 have died in fighting in two eastern regions since April. | |
| The original ceasefire agreed on 5 September has been frequently violated but is still holding. | |
| Ukraine accuses Russia of supporting separatists in eastern Ukraine with weapons and military personnel, but Russia denies it has any role there. | |
| Former Ukrainian President Leonid Kuchma, representing Kiev at the talks, said international monitors would check the buffer zone. | |
| The two sides did not discuss the status of the rebel-held areas of Luhansk and Donetsk. |
