Ukraine Requests Weapons From US, Is Rejected (For Now)

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.
