KRAMATORSK, Ukraine -- Ukrainian armed forces continued military operations in the country's beleaguered east, pushing pro-Russian rebel forces back within the city limits of Sloviansk and Kramatorsk and setting up new checkpoints.

The Kyiv Post spent an afternoon with Ukrainian officers from the defense and interior ministries, the army and the Security Services of Ukraine to observe their work at two checkpoints – in Kramatorsk, and outside Sloviansk.
