UKRAINE-RUSSIA-POLITICS-CRISIS

A resident moves a cardboard on July 9, 2014 inside her apartment, in a building damaged the day before by Ukrainian forces' mortar fire, in Lugansk, eastern Ukraine. Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko looked set to face renewed European pressure on Wednesday for a truce with pro-Russian rebels as the remaining separatist strongholds braced for more fighting. In Lugansk -- one of two regional capitals still held by the insurgents -- the streets were deserted and an AFP team heard regular artillery fire to the north of the city with shooting seeming to be focused around the rebels' military headquarters.
