Ukraine's Right Sector spokesman Artem Skoropadsky said that the Right Sector's volunteer corps has been fulfilling Commander-in-Chief, President Petro Poroshenko's order to halt the fighting.

The Right Sector is banned in Russia as an extremist organization.

"We will definitely observe the peace plan," he said on 112 television on Sunday.

"If all the bandits and separatists observe the cease-fire, the Right Sector will not fight, either," he said.

"But we will not put our guns and cannons too far aside," he also said.

The Azov special task regiment said, too, that the cease-fire announced at midnight, has been respected, according to a posting on the regiment's official website in the social network VKontakte.
