The position of Ukrainian forces fighting in the eastern city of Severodonetsk has "worsened a little", the regional governor said on Monday.
"Our defenders managed to undertake a counter-attack for a certain time; they liberated almost half of the city. But now the situation has worsened a little for us again," Luhansk regional governor Serhiy Gaidai told national television.
