become even more dangerous in the past 24 hours,” he said.

Tensions have also escalated near Donetsk airport, he said.

“Our airport is under fire. It is being attacked. They are fighting back,”
Lysenko said.

The spokesman, however, was unable either to confirm or deny reports that six
Ukrainian soldiers had been killed near the Donetsk airport in the past 24
hours.

This information is being verified, he added.
