– Chaos in southern Ukraine: Deadly fire, choppers down and street fighting (CNN, May 3, 2014):
Slavyansk, Ukraine (CNN) — Deadly street fighting, helicopters shot down and civilians being used as human shields.
That was the picture that emerged Friday in southern Ukraine as violence escalated amid reports that dozens of people were killed in a fire and still more were shot dead or wounded in street fighting, raising the question of whether the country can stave off a possible civil war.

The US is causing this, not Russia. Russia isn’t interested in war in its own country……this is the CIA at work.
