Ukraine's President Petro Poroshenko has said that the situation in the east of the country is improving.

"The fact that we have not had combat losses for several days now, with us having preserved the lives of the Ukrainian heroes, is a very bright attestation that a gradual de-escalation is beginning," he said in an interview aired on the "1+1" television on Friday evening.

"Today we can state, cautiously state, that a gradual de-escalation is taking place," he said.
