The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry has reported that 56 servicemen of the Ukrainian army have been killed since a temporary ceasefire was declared in the country's eastern regions on September 5.

"Fifty-six Ukrainian servicemen have been killed, another 316 have been injured and 32 civilians have been killed since September 5," the ministry said on its Twitter page on Monday evening.
