Pro-Russian fighters wait for representatives of the Ukrainian troops Wednesday at a checkpoint in the village of Karlivka near Donetsk, eastern Ukraine, during a handover of the bodies of Ukrainian troops who died in a plane shot down near Luhansk. The two sides managed to arrange a brief truce in the eastern town of Karlivka to allow pro-Russian forces to hand over the bodies of 49 Ukrainian troops who died when the separatists shot down the transport plane.
