‘Many dead’ in Ukraine offensive
“Many pro-Russia rebels have been killed, injured and arrested in the Ukrainian government offensive in the eastern city of Sloviansk, acting President Oleksandr Turchynov has said.
In a statement, he said the operation in the rebel-held city was not going as quickly as hoped.
Rebels have shot down two Ukrainian army helicopters, killing a pilot and a serviceman. Seven have been injured.
The UN Security Council is meeting in emergency session at Russia’s request.”
In Russia’s request. Now that’s a turn of events.
