Pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine shot down a military helicopter near Sloviansk, reports the BBC.
The shooting comes as the Russia urged Ukraine to stop the military campaign against the separatists and start serious negotiations.
The Russian foreign ministry further urged the United States and European Union to influence ‘Kiev to stop Ukraine’s slide into national catastrophe.’
Six National Guard Soldiers and six members of the special forces died in the attack said the Ukrainian National Guard in a statement.
