Kiev, Ukraine: Kiev officials and pro-Russian separatists said Friday they had agreed a brief humanitarian truce around the battleground east Ukrainian town of Debaltseve so besieged civilians can leave, AFP reported.

They have agreed a truce for Friday in the area around Debaltseve for the evacuation of the civilian population, Ukraine interior ministry official Vyacheslav Abroskin told AFP.

Rebels told their news agency that the truce around the town they have almost encircled would last until 15:00 GMT on Friday.
