NSDC: One soldier injured in last day

One Ukrainian soldier has been injured in the Donbas conflict zone in eastern Ukraine in the last day, National Security and Defense Council spokesman Andriy Lysenko said at a briefing in Kyiv on Thursday, according to an UNIAN correspondent.

"Over the last day, the number of military clashes of the Russian-backed insurgents has been decreased. One Ukrainian soldier has been injured," he said.

"Fortunately, nobody has been killed," Lysenko said.

Ukraine introduced a unilateral ceasefire on December 9, but says its forces have been attacked on a daily basis since then by pro-Russian militants. The government says it ordered its troops not to return fire even if attacked.
