A Ukrainian unit "detected a large convoy of militants in the east of Luhansk region" on Monday, he said. "The militants opened fire. The Ukrainian servicemen were positioned for all round defense. Reinforcements were rapidly sent to the area to support the Ukrainian unit," Selezniov wrote on Facebook on Tuesday morning.
