Several Ukrainian troops have been killed in fresh clashes between government forces and pro-Russian militia in the country’s volatile eastern region. The fighting also leaves residents in the government-controlled town of Avdeevka without water, heating, and electricity amid freezing cold. Press TV’s Lena Savchuk has filed this report from Kiev.
