Shortly after Ukraine found out that financial aid from the US will not be forthcoming (thanks to politicial gridlock); it appears they will be disappointed by the US once again:
- *UKRAINE SAID TO ASK FOR ARMS FROM US, FLY SAYS CITING DJ
- *U.S. SAID TO DENY UKRAINE REQUEST FOR ARMS, FLY SAYS CITING DJ
It would appear that what is good for US-assisted Syrian Al-Qaeda rebels is not good enough for the vastly outmatched and outnumbered Ukrainians.
The UN Security Council does not sound hopeful:
- *DIPLOMATIC SOLUTION TO CRIMEA `ELUSIVE,’ UN OFFICIAL SAYS
As clashes breakout in Dontesk (with a tleast 10 injured):
- *DONETSK CLASHES BETWEEN PRO-RUSSIA, PRO-UKRAINE SIDES: INTERFAX
- *DONETSK CLASHES IN UKRAINE INVOLVE 4,000 PEOPLE, INTERFAX SAYS
- *DONETSK CLASHES IN UKRAINE INVOLVE 4,000 PEOPLE, INTERFAX SAYS
With tear gas and stun grenades being used.
