Guterres spoke to journalists at the start of a meeting with Ukrainian Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman, while making his first visit to Kiev. "We k**w that fighting is still happening. And, of course, our appeal is for a complete ceasefire," Guterres stressed.

The UN chief specified that he was referring to last month’s agreement on a so-called "harvest ceasefire." Brokered by the international monitors, the latest ceasefire agreement went into force on June 24 and was intended to make it possible for local farmers to harvest their crops.

Guterres made the appeal as US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson met President Petro Poroshenko for talks in Kiev expected to reinforce US support for Ukraine and urge it to enact reforms. The latest ceasefire has helped reduce fighting in the 38-month separatist conflict but sporadic clashes along the volatile frontline have **netheless killed nine Ukrainian soldiers and wounded dozens.
