Two Ukrainian soldiers and one civilian were killed in incidents involving Kremlin-backed separatists, Kiev said Saturday, a day before the country votes in a parliamentary election.
The Ukrainian army's press secretary, Dmytro Gutsulyak, said the two soldiers were killed by sniper
fire, and added that four other servicemen were injured.
Ukraine is to hold a parliamentary
election on Sunday in which President Volodymyr Zelensky's party is expected to win the largest share of votes.
