Six Ukrainian
Soldiers Killed In East Ukraine
(RFE/RL) --- Six Ukrainian soldiers were
killed on April 5 in the east of the country in two separate incidents as the
conflict in eastern Ukraine
entered its second year.
The Interior Ministry said a military vehicle was hit as it drove across a bridge in Schastye, a government-held town about 170 kilometers northeast of the city of separatist-heldDonetsk .
The ministry accused Russian-backed separatists of firing the shell, but that report could not be independently confirmed.
It said initial reports showed "militants had fired a laser-guided antitank missile."
Ukraine 's antiterrorism center has
identified all four of the servicemen, adding that they came from the Kharkiv
region.
The information center for the so-called Luhansk People's Republic denied reports its forces were involved.
The pro-Russian separatists claimed the Ukrainian military vehicle hit a landmine placed on the bridge by Ukrainian forces.
In a separate incident less than an hour later, a Ukrainian military vehicle hit a landmine near the town ofShyrokyne , east of the city of Mariupol , killing two servicemen and wounding
one other.
The previous day, the government reported the deaths of another three soldiers when a mine exploded near the town ofAvdiyivka , a government-held town north
of Donetsk .
The fatalities were the first announced by the authorities in almost a week after the death of a Ukrainian army soldier reported on March 30.
The deaths have underscored the fragility of a cease-fire in force since February, when it was brokered by leaders fromUkraine , Russia , Germany ,
and France .
Both sides in conflict have accused the other of violations since the cease-fire went into effect.
Some 6,000 people have been killed since fighting broke out between pro-Russian separatists and the Ukrainian government a year ago.

National Guard
purchased Shrek (Bloody Pastor) armoured vehicle.
(Censor.NET) --- New Shrek cargo armoured
vehicle to begin service at the National Guard of Ukraine.
This was announced
by Censor.NET Editor-in-Chief Yurii Butusov on his Facebook page.
Today I took a picture of an amusing detail at the exhibition of military equipment in Novi Petrivtsi village. The National Guard has purchased a new Shrek armoured vehicle which has the letters "KP" written and some red drops painted on its shell. There was a paper sheet with some writing near the vehicle. I asked Arsen Avakov what it means. And he said that the vehicle should have a name and that those are some options listed, so that the country's leaders adopt one of the abbreviations. He was serious about it. I found the second abbreviation, as well as the last one, written in small print under the bottom line, funny (Kondyterska Productsiya (Confectionery products) and Krovavyi Pastor (Bloody Pastor). However, I did not witness the leaders' reaction since I did not want to stay in the crowd, so I do not know which version of the KP abbreviation has been approved. All the Ukrainian leadership tested new machine guns and rifles at the landfill. "KP" also fired from a heavy machine gun," he writes
