[quote]The Ukrainian and Russian presidents have agreed that a ceasefire in eastern Ukraine is "largely holding".
Ukraine's Petro Poroshenko and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin spoke by phone to discuss steps to make Friday's truce durable.
The comments come despite reports of shootings by both pro-Russian rebels and Ukrainian government troops.
Meanwhile, Russia vowed to respond if the European Union imposed new sanctions over the Ukraine crisis.
The EU says the sanctions, targeting more Russian individuals, will be introduced on Monday but could be later suspended if Russia withdraws troops from eastern Ukraine and observes a current truce.[/quote]
