Four people died in clashes between government forces and pro-Russian insurgents in Ukraine’s separatist east, officials said on Oct. 28, the highest death toll since international peace talks held 10 days ago.
The flare-up in the two-year conflict followed German Chancelor Angela Merkel and French President Francois Hollande’s efforts to breathe fresh air in a stalled peace process during talks with Russia’s Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian leader Petro Poroshenko in Berlin.
