(Reuters) - A ceasefire struck between Ukrainian government forces and pro-Russian separatists was largely holding on Monday in eastern Ukraine, although Kiev accused the rebels of sporadic violations overnight, especially near the port of Mariupol.

The ceasefire, which took effect on Friday evening, is part of a peace plan intended to end a five-month conflict the United Nations' human rights envoy said on Monday had killed more than 3,000 people. It has also caused the sharpest confrontation between Russia and the West since the Cold War.

The plan envisages an exchange of prisoners, and on Monday a senior separatist leader was quoted as saying the rebels expected an "all-for-all" exchange on Wednesday.

"Overall the ceasefire held even though it is still shaky," Ambassador Thomas Greminger of Switzerland, the current chair of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), said, adding the next days would be crucial.

Local officials in Mariupol said Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko would visit their city on Monday afternoon. Mariupol, a port on the Sea of Azov near the Russian border, is vital for Ukraine's steel exports.

The area to the east of Mariupol was the scene of fierce fighting before the ceasefire and it also saw the most serious violation of the truce to date on Saturday night when government forces said they came under artillery attack by the rebels.

A woman was killed and four people injured in that shelling.

Early on Monday, a Reuters reporter heard a short blast of renewed artillery fire to the east of Mariupol but the area later fell quiet.

Both the rebels and the Ukrainian military insist they are strictly observing the ceasefire and blame their opponents for any violations.

The Ukrainian military's press center listed five rebel violations of the ceasefire accord overnight into Monday, while the separatists accused government forces of preparing to storm a town near rebel-held Donetsk, the region's industrial hub.

Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa says economic growth benefits must be shared by all equally. “Inequality is an affront to our new democratic...
