Maidan Community Sector, Lviv:

 Dear friends!

Russia has carried out an act of aggression towards Ukraine. Russian troops have entered Crimea. Thus we take it upon ourselves to inform you about the events in Ukraine. We will provide you with yet another viewpoint regarding this conflict. We will do our best to remain fair and objective.

April 12 – There is a high probability of the suspension of gas supply to the EU due to new aggravation of the “gas conflict”, informed Andriy Kobolev, Chairman of the Board of the NJSC Naftogaz of Ukraine. 15 billion cubic meters of gas, which were supposed to be stored in NJSC Naftogaz gas storage, exist only “on paper”, stated Prime Minister of Ukraine Arseniy Yatsenyuk.
April 12 – Separatists occupied City Militia Department (Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine) in the city of Sloviansk in Donetsk oblast. A group consisting of unidentified people in two busses pulled up to the premises of the Department and opened random fire aiming at the building and windows. Then they hooked up the grates on the windows, pulled out the grates using the busses, broke off these grates and stormed into the building. By using tear gas and smoke bombs, the raiders entered the guardroom. Apparently these armed raiders occupied the premises of the Department in order to get their hands on the weapons. 20 armed men who have introduced themselves as part of an initiative group of a so called Donetsk Republic remain at the premises. They have also put up block posts at the entrances to the city of Sloviansk.
April 12 – Four more Rayon Militia Departments have been raided in Donetsk oblast – one in Krasnoarmiysk, Kramatorsk, Yenakiyevo and one in Krasnolymansk. Professional subversive groups from Russia are invloved.
April 12 – Separatists, who were part of the rally held near the Oblast Militia Department (Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine), have now occupied the building.
