The crisis in Ukraine escalated Saturday, as pro-Russian masked gunmen seized a police station and a security-services building in the city of Sloviansk, near the Russian border.
Kyiv Post, a Ukrainian English-language news organization, said the takeover appeared to be a Russian military operation similar to the invasion of Crimea last month, involving men in fatigues carrying Kalashnikov assault rifles. Gunmen reportedly established checkpoints outside the city of 125,000, and appeared to be searching vehicles for weapons, Kyiv Post reported.
