Pro-Russian separatists shot down two helicopters in a key eastern Ukrainian city, and fighting in the port city of Odessa triggered a fire that killed dozens, as the embattled nation moved closer to the brink of civil war.
Interim Ukraine President Oleksandr Turchynov said "many" pro-Russia rebels have been killed, injured and arrested in a major offensive to regain control of Slavyansk, though it was not clear if the Kiev-backed forces had succeeded. Russia reacted angrily to the offensive by Ukrainian security forces, calling for an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council after a spokesman for President Vladimir Putin warned it "effectively destroyed the last hope for the implementation of the Geneva agreements."
In the Black Sea port city of Odessa, Ukraine's third-largest city, a fire that broke out in a trade union building amid clashes killed 31. Fighting there represented another ominous milestone in the conflict that threatens to become a full-blown civil war, as Odessa holds huge historic significance for Russians and Ukrainians alike.

That’s ok, just turn down your lights and use the one on your hard drive.
but if we turn out the lights who is going to pay for the lights?
I cant. The ceiling poster of my shirtless dreamboat gets all my attention.
LOL .. this is too good ... am bookmarking.
You do realize that the United States invaded Mexico in a two year war and occupied its capital before dictating the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, don't you? That's how we got California, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah and Colorado. But Russia is expected to stand by and watch while NATO plants its flag and forces along its exposed western and southern borders. I doubt Moscow is buying that argument.
Heck, think I’ll find another bra to burn.
Absolutely true, as illustrated throughout the Bible.
Jeez, now anyone who doesn't agree with saving Ukrainians from themselves is a Putin troll. I wish I knew where the troll paymaster is I could use the money.
I think some people are just mad that Vlad banned homosexual propaganda. Which would make a hell of a lot more sense that conservatives backing the Obama/State Dept’s occupy Ukraine scam. but who knows?
Nothing alleged about it. Igor Strelkov, scumbag #1, wanted dead or alive
These posters are delusional .
I lived in Berlin in the 80s and Putin was in Dresden overseeing the murdering of people trying to escape his regime.
....” Putin doesn’t need to - the Maidan regime is burning its own house down without Russia having to lift a finger”....
Ukraines a welfare state so it’ll always blame someone else for their misery...including each other, and their history pretty much states as much.
There’s a saying about hate filled people, that if they don’t have someone to hate they’ll cease to exist. Of course that’s not all Ukraines but they do tend to rile each other up pretty easily.
One guy said the distance for them, between love and hate, is a hairs breath. I imagine this flows back and forth on a dime too!
Odessa is heartbreaking...the Maiden burned their own people and watched as people jumped from the building. Most young kids, heck the girls making the cocktails were 14 yrs. they said!
Two eggs over medium, sausage and bacon, hash browns and coffee, black. Don’t worry ... nobody understands. Just ordering breakfast.
