Permalink Ukraine [Kiev] attack in Sloviansk draws stern Putin warning

Commandos have moved on the separatist stronghold of Sloviansk in eastern Ukraine, prompting a warning of "consequences" from Russia's president. At least two separatists were reported killed as commandos, backed by armoured vehicles, cleared checkpoints on the outskirts of the town. But a BBC correspondent says the centre of Sloviansk is currently quiet. Pro-Russian separatists are occupying key buildings in at least a dozen eastern towns, defying Kiev. There was also further unrest earlier on Thursday in the south-eastern city of Mariupol. Interior Minister Arsen Avakov said government forces had ousted pro-Russian militants from the city hall building. But another BBC correspondent says there is no sign of Ukrainian troops anywhere nearby. Speaking on Russian TV as news of the Sloviansk operation was coming in, Russian President Vladimir Putin said: "If the regime in Kiev has begun using the army against the population inside the country, then this is undoubtedly a very serious crime.

RIA Novosti: Clashes in Slaviansk Caused by Kiev’s Irresponsible Policy – Lavrov Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Thursday that deadly clashes in Slaviansk and Mariupol are the result of Kiev’s irresponsible policies that rely on extremism. “What is going on in Slaviansk, and what happened that night in Mariupol, is the result of such irresponsible policies; policies that, and I repeat, rely on ultra-extremism, extremist, and for the most part neo-Nazi groups,” Lavrov said.
