Relatives cry on funeral of two local militias, who was killed in fightings with Ukrainian troops near Debalcevo in Donetsk, Ukraine, on Feb. 16, 2015. Fighting between the government and pro-independence rebels persisted on Monday around a strategic railway hub in eastern Ukraine, dampening hopes that artillery exchanges could abate in the wake of a fresh peace agreement inked last week.
