Putin seeks orderly retreat for encircled Ukrainian troops
Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Tuesday he hoped the Ukrainian government would not prevent its forces who are encircled in the eastern town of Debaltseve from giving up their weapons.      
 
Speaking on a visit to Hungary, Putin also said he hoped pro-Moscow rebels would give the government forces safe passage out. ​      
 
Meanwhile, the United Nations Security Council called on all parties in eastern Ukraine to stop fighting and abide by a European-brokered peace deal that aims to end months of conflict.        
 
"The members of the Security Council regretted that, despite the announcement of a ceasefire on 15 February, violence has continued in recent days in some parts of eastern Ukraine," it said in a British-drafted statement.           
 
The 15-member Security Council expressed grave concern at continued fighting in and around the town of Debaltseve.
