Tragic Loss of Life in Odesa

Marie Harf, Deputy Department Spokesperson,May 2, 2014:
"The United States today mourns with all Ukrainians the heartbreaking loss of life in Odesa. Today the international community must stand together in support of the Ukrainian people as they cope with this tragedy.
The violence and mayhem that led to so many senseless deaths and injuries is unacceptable. 

We call on all sides to work together to restore calm and law and order, and we call on the Ukrainian authorities to launch a full investigation and to bring all those responsible to justice.

The events in Odesa that led to the deadly fire in the Trade Union Building dramatically underscore the need for an immediate de-escalation of tensions in Ukraine. 
The violence and efforts to destabilize the country must end. We again call for the immediate implementation of the commitments made in Geneva on April 17. 
The United States stands ready to support this implementation."

  1. Ukraine forces move on rebels in Kramatorsk....Interior minister says the government will not stop its campaign, a day after deadly riots and battles killed 40 people....

    Ukrainian troops moved towards the rebel-held town of Kramatorsk on Saturday, with the government vowing it would not stop its operations to dislodge separatists. Russian media cited hospital sources as saying fighting overnight had killed one person wounded nine others.

    The interior minister, Arsen Avakov, said troops had seized control of rebel-held areas in Kramatorsk but gave no information on possible casualties.

    "The active phase of the operation continued at dawn," Avakov wrote on his Facebook page. "We are not stopping."

    "Overnight, forces participating in the anti-terrorist operation in Kramatorsk took control of the TV tower that was previously held by the terrorists," added the minister.

    Kramatorsk is near the rebel stronghold of Sloyansk, where rebels shot down two Ukrainian attack helicopters on Friday, killing two airmen and capturing a third...........http://www.aljazeera.com/news/europe/2014/05/ukraine-forces-move-rebels-kramatorsk-20145351446358346.html
