Slaviansk is one of several cities and towns which have been taken over by separatist gunmen.
During the attack, three separatists and two of their attackers were killed.
The separatists say they were attacked by members of Right Sector, a Ukrainian nationalist group.
A spokesman for Right Sector said their group was not involved and blamed Russian special forces for the attack.
Slaviansk's mayor called upon Russia to send in "peacekeepers" to protect his town from further violence.
Ukraine's government used the incident to one again state that Russia is trying to instigate violence as an excused to send in troops and take over more of Ukraine.
