One person was killed and over a dozen injured Thursday,... when rival demonstrators clashed
in Ukraine's eastern city of Donetsk. Ukrainian officials said the 22-year-old man
died of a knife wound... and the others are in hospital.
The violence erupted as pro-Russia demonstrators clashed with crowds condemning Moscow's seizure
of Crimea. The death is the first since Russia's takeover
of the autonomous region. Nearly 1-hundred people have been killed since
protests broke out in Ukraine last November... over the ousted president's decision to back
away from a trade deal with the EU... in favor of closer ties with Russia.
Meanwhile, Washington warned Russia on Thursday that the U.S. and Europe will take serious
steps... if it annexes Crimea,... which is to hold a referendum this weekend on rejoining
Russia.
