Ukrainian troops deployed along new line of defense - general

KYIV. Feb 20 (Interfax) - The Ukrainian troops, which exited the fighting zone in Debaltseve, have been deployed along a new line of defense in the east of the country, says Vladislav Seleznyov of the Ukrainian Armed Forces General Staff.

The troops which left Debaltseve will be rotated in a few days, he told reporters on Friday.

"We need two or three days to perform a certain list of tasks on the frontiers where our units are, before we conduct the planned rotation," Seleznyov said.
