A total of 181 people, including 59 Ukrainian Armed Forces servicemen, have died as a result of armed clashes in the eastern regions of Ukraine.
Acting Prosecutor General Oleh Makhnitsky of Ukraine said about deaths at a press conference on Tuesday, reports news agency Interfax-Ukraine.
"On the whole, 181 people were killed, including 59 servicemen, and another 293 were injured because of terrorist activities in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions," he said.
Ukraine's Russian-speaking eastern regions which border on Russia have been riven with separatist armed rebellions for the past two months.
The Kiev government says the fighting is fomented by Russia, which opposes its pro-Western policies, and accuses Russia of allowing volunteer fighters to cross into Ukraine to fight alongside the rebels.
