Clashes Erupt in Ukraine’s Mariupol City

World Today

Worst clashes in Ukraine erupted in Mariupol city where military personnel were pitted against pro-Russia militants. Three Pro-Russian activists were killed in these clashes. And, while some of the world’s top diplomats met in Geneva, Ukraine’s parliament was in session, seeking a homemade solution.

Thousands gathered for peaceful demonstrations Thursday in at least four eastern cities to denounce Russia for its perceived meddling in Ukrainian affairs, a day after the most lethal clash so far killed three pro-Russian activists. Political developments in eastern Ukraine have for weeks been dominated by a small, vocal and armed opposition to the interim government in Kiev. Thursday’s rallies, by contrast, drew crowds who listened to speeches condemning Russia and resisting the pro-Russian movement that is pushing for autonomy for eastern Ukraine. Rallies were held in Donetsk, Luhansk, Mariupol and Kramatorsk, where key government buildings have been occupied by pro-Russian groups. CCTV’s Michal Bardavid reports from Kiev with the latest developments.
