Ukrainian forces reportedly surround city of Slavyansk -- acting mayor
The city of Slavyansk, in eastern Ukraine, has been reportedly surrounded by Kiev-controlled forces that have armored vehicles at their disposal, the city's acting mayor, Vyacheslav Ponomaryov, the commander of the self-defense battalion, told ITAR-TASS.
Barricades are being reinforced on the city's streets and roads to the city. Self-defense militias are taking precautions in case of fire attacks from heights overlooking the city.
"Troops have surrounded the city. Armored vehicles - tanks and APCs - have been placed all around. We are getting ready. If they try to move in, we will have to stop them," Ponomaryov said.
