At least two people were killed and seven injured in the fighting that broke out after armed men bearing the insignia of Pravy Sektor (Right Sector), a far-Right paramilitary group, drove into the Ukrainian town of Mukachevo, near the Polish and Hungarian borders, on Saturday.
At least two Pravy Sektor fighters were killed in the ensuing melee, which also saw two police cars destroyed by grenade launchers.
An unknown number of Pravy Sektor fighters were still believed to be hiding in countryside near the town on Sunday evening.
Dmitro Yarosh, the head of the far-Right group, flew into the town on Sunday to negotiate an end to the stand off.
Government special forces reportedly postponed a planned assault on the surrounded fighters on Saturday night to allow negotiations to take place.
Two of the most powerful volunteer battalions involved in the war in east Ukraine have spoken out in support of Pravy Sektor.

OT:
What is going on in LVOV?
Lot’s of Twitter chatter that the Right Sector troops are trying to take control of the city.
Bombs directed at police, raising the Right Sector Flag over the City Admin, and setting up Checkpoints.
Kiev blaming the Nazi’s for the bombings, Right Sector propagandists blaming “Trans-Carpathian Rebels”.
Nothing at all about it in Western Media, of course.
Ukrainian press [not Russian one!] (korrespondent.net) reports in Russian that yesterday there were two explosions at sheriff's offices [an ex-USSR version of them] in Lvov, and a female police officer lost a leg because of this. Also government troops, armed with machine-guns and armoured infantry vehicles encircled a forest where the Pravy Sektor paramilitaries were beleived to be hiding. Isn't it worth reporting on the CNN's website or something like this?
Very interesting analytics give Ukrainian experts Tatiana Montyan and Dmitry Dzhanghirov, there are numerous interviews in Youtube, but in Russian and Ukrainian languages.
