Eastern Ukraine Violence Brings ‘Crunch Time’ for U.S.,EU - Bloomberg:
"The U.S. and European Union have reached “crunch time” to halt further destabilization in Ukraine and curb any further Russian expansion in the region.
Prospects for a negotiated end to the crisis were set back after camouflaged gunmen fired on government forces near Slovyansk, about 240 kilometers (150 miles) from the Russian frontier in eastern Ukraine. There were casualties on both sides. Russia requested an emergency meeting of the United Nations Security Council at 8 p.m. in New York.
The U.S. backed Ukraine’s accusation that Russia was behind the violence. Yet the repeated threat of additional sanctions directly targeting Russia’s economy hasn’t prevented such clashes and there’s little likelihood of a military response, according to analysts."
