Ukraine: Special forces sent to eastern city
Ukrainian special forces have been sent to an eastern city where armed pro-Russia men seized a police headquarters and the Security Service office a day earlier, the interior minister said Sunday.
The unrest in Slovyansk and the nearby major industrial city Donetsk were the latest shows of spiraling anger in eastern Ukraine, which has a large Russian-speaking population and was also the support base for Viktor Yanukovych, the Ukrainian president ousted in February following months of protests in Kiev, the capital.
