According to a report from Russian state media, five people (including three pro-Russian activists) were killed in a shootout that occured near a checkpoint guarded by Pro-Russians in Sloviansk, Ukraine.

This comes just a week after Russia and Ukraine met in Geneva to resolve any tensions in eastern Ukraine. Many Ukrainians fear that this incident will lead to Russia capturing more Ukrainian territory.

Russian foreign ministry believe the Right Sector, the Ukrainian far-right group, was involved in the attack, despite  the group denying any involvement.

Check back with Neon Tommy as more details develop from the situation.
