Earlier, there were reports that the militants had reopened the train station in Debaltseve, which is a key rail hub in the region, connecting the militant-held cities of Donetsk and Luhansk and a major line to Russia.

The militants attacked and occupied Debaltseve on February 18, in violation of the ceasefire agreement contained in the Minsk agreement their leaders signed on February 12.
