No Ukrainian soldiers were killed but one was wounded in militant shelling in Donbas in the last day, according to the Ukrainian presidential administration.
”All Ukrainian troops are alive, but one was wounded during the shelling of the town of Maryinka in the past day,” speaker for the administration for Anti-Terrorist Operation issues Andriy Lysenko said in Kyiv on Monday.
In his words, the situation in the ATO zone remained relatively stable, but there were single acts of provocation by Russian-backed militants.
”In the past 24 hours, the militants violated the ceasefire six times,” he said.
According to him, there were no attacks in the Luhansk sector yesterday, while militants based in the Donetsk sector shelled Ukrainian positions four times.

Ukrainian troops were forced to return fire, Lysenko added.
