烏克蘭叛亂分子釋放四名歐洲觀察員
Pro-Russian rebels in eastern Ukraine have freed four European monitors who have been detained for a month. Four observers were freed a month after they were taken from Luhansk.
Four others seized in Donetsk were let go earlier in the week. OSCE officials say all are in good health. It is still not clear why they were taken.
The European Union is demanding the separatists and their supporters in Moscow take steps to de-escalate the crisis in eastern Ukraine or face more sanctions. Steps the EU demands include peace talks and letting the OSCE monitors do their jobs.
Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko Friday extended by three days a cease-fire with the rebels. Some of the rebels said they would observe a truce as long as the Ukrainian military does.烏克蘭東部的親俄叛亂分子釋放了被關押了一個月的四名歐洲觀察員。 這四人是一個月前在盧漢斯克被扣留。
另外四名在頓涅斯克被扣留的觀察員本星期早些時候獲釋。歐洲安全與合作組織的官員說，八人身體狀況良好，目前仍不清楚親俄分子爲何扣押他們。
歐洲聯盟要求分離主義分子以及支持他們的俄羅斯政府採取步驟緩解東烏克蘭危機，否則將對他們加大制裁。 歐盟要求他們採取的行動包括和平談判和允許歐洲安全與合作組織觀察員履行職責。
烏克蘭總統波羅申科星期五宣佈將停火延長三天。 有些反叛分子表示，只要烏克蘭軍隊遵守停火，他們也會遵守。
