Representatives from Ukraine, Russia, Germany and France held 17-hour peace talks that resulted in a ceasefire agreement to end the ongoing violence in eastern Ukraine between Ukrainian forces and pro-Russian separatists. The new ceasefire deal is similar to a previous 2014 agreement and includes provisions for a "special status" for pro-Russian areas, the release of prisoners by both sides, and Ukraine regaining control of its border. All parties have agreed to the ceasefire which will begin on February 15th.
