"The use of small arms by the terrorists was recorded in the area of Maiorske, Horlivka, around Pisky and Shchastia. Our troops in the Donetsk airport were twice provoked by the militants who opened fire from grenade launchers. In all these cases, the Ukrainian soldiers exercised restraint and did not respond to provocations," Lysenko said.
