Ukrainian Foreign Minister Vadym Prystaiko said a planned troop withdrawal in the eastern town of Zolote would start on Tuesday, a confidence-building measure ahead of peace talks that he hopes will take place at the end of November.
Ukrainian troops have battled Russian-backed rebels in the Donbass region of eastern
Ukraine in a conflict that has killed more than 13,000 people.
Both sides have agreed to modest troop withdrawals in certain areas but these have been disrupted by ceasefire violations.
