Heavy Clashes Reported As Ukrainian Forces Tackle Pro-Russian Separatists -- CNN
(CNN) -- Ukrainian security forces battled pro-Russian militants in the eastern flashpoint city of Slavyansk on Monday as Kiev tackled the gunmen who have overrun the region.
Military gains were evident on the main highway into Slavyansk, a rebel stronghold, as government forces moved in.
A CNN team on the ground saw a substantial number of militants bolster their defensive positions and checkpoints inside the city. One civilian car was hit in the fighting, its exterior damaged by bullet holes.
At a local hospital, the CNN team saw several people injured from the heavy clashes. One woman had been shot in the head, probably in a crossfire, and two pro-Russian militants were also brought in.

Is it close to civil war? Have you heard anything about that the Ukrainan military wil launch a full assault on Sloviansk? How is it in Kharkov and do you think that the meeting in Geneva tommorow wil lead to a solution to end this crisis? Thats my questions for today. If you have any answers i will be glad to receive them.
The Ukraine government believes that they are in a state of war. The Ukraine military has also launched attacks .... but with not enough troops on the ground they cannot hold territory. Meetings in Geneva and elsewhere to defuse the crisis have failed because the people on the ground are not represented. Kharkiv is still calm .... but no one goes out at night because of the gangs on both sides.
