The cease-fire is ending today. For some it never really begun...
Meanwhile, Olympic fall-out in Ukraine.
The Ukrainian city of Lviv is dropping its candidacy for the 2022 Winter Olympic Games due to the deadly separatist conflict raging in the country's east and the ensuing economic crisis.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) said Lviv's withdrawal was "a result of the present political and economic circumstances in Ukraine."
The city will bid for the 2026 event instead.
Lviv, in western Ukraine, had been vying with Beijing, Oslo, and Almaty to host the 2022 games.
The IOC said the decision followed discussions between its president, Thomas Bach, Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk, and pole-vaulting legend Sergiy Bubka, who heads the country's National Olympic Committee.
Yatsenyuk said a bid for 2026 "would have excellent potential for the economic recovery of the country."
The winner for the 2022 Olympics will be announced on July 31.
Reuters has a couple of videos looking at the fighting in and around Slovyansk, in eastern Ukraine. The first, via the Ukrainian Defense Ministry, shows troops movements around Slovyansk.
The second shows the civilian aftermath of the fighting.
The "Kyiv Post" has a more detailed account of the circumstances leading up to the death of the Russian cameraman, Anatoly Klyan, including a harrowing, but not particularly gory, video.
Here is the harrowing video showing the moments after cameraman Anatoly Klyan was shot in the stomach.
From our news desk:
Moscow says the killing of a Russian TV cameraman in eastern Ukraine just before a cease-fire is due to expire shows Kyiv does not want to de-escalate the conflict.
The Russian Foreign Ministry said the shooting of cameraman Anatoly Klyan on June 30 shows Kyiv is undermining the current cease-fire before it ends at 2100 Prague time.
Klyan, 68, was shot while filming near a pro-Kyiv military unit in the Donetsk region.
The origin of the gunfire that killed Klyan is unclear.
He is the third Russian journalist to die in the conflict and the fifth journalist overall.
French President Francois Hollande and German Chancellor Angela Merkel are expected to phone the presidents of Ukraine and Russia on June 30 to support extending the cease-fire.
They also phoned Ukraine's Petro Poroshenko and Russia's Vladimir Putin on June 29.
