Both Ukraine and Russia claim control of strategic city of Lysychansk

Both the Russians and the Ukrainians claim to control the strategically located eastern Ukrainian city of Lysychansk. That reports the BBC. Ukraine says its troops are under heavy fire, but maintains that the last major city in the eastern region of Luhansk has not yet been captured. However, Russian-backed separatists say they successfully moved into the city and reached the center.
