Today, during new clashes between militants and Ukrainian forces, 5 members of the pro-Russian militias were seriously injured. Yesterday, two days after the accidents that caused more than 40 deaths in Odessa, the Ukrainian premier Arseniy Yatsenyuk accused Russia: "They are implementing a plan that foresees the destruction of Ukraine".
Interfax, a Russian non-governmental news agency, reported the outcome of the latest clashes and the testimonies of pro-Russian separatist exponents who said they were closely surrounded. The inhabitants, as reported by journalistic sources quoted by the BBC, expect an offensive by the Ukrainian forces. The tension in the city is very high: "Many shops are closing because there are no goods to trade", declared the pro-Russian separatists.
