After last week's end to the 10-day ceasefire, Ukrainian government troops have made significant gains in pushing pro-Russian rebels out of a string of towns in the east and have now turned their attention to the stronghold of Donetsk.
Join our live webcast with Ukrainian National Security Council Chairman Andriy Parubiy for an update from the field.
Informally dubbed "the commandant of the Maidan," Parubiy rose to prominence for his coordination of the Euromaidan protesters' self-defense forces and helped negotiate a cease-fire with police following some of the worst of the bloodshed. He has served as a lawmaker in the Verkhovna Rada since 2007, first for Our Ukraine, then for Fatherland.
