Deadly violence in Eastern Ukraine.

I wonder if this will "open the door" for Putin's Not-Russian-Russian-Brigade?

One dead in Ukraine clash in eastern city


DONETSK, Ukraine Thu Mar 13, 2014 5:26pm EDT



(Reuters) - A young man was stabbed to death and more than a dozen people were in hospital on Thursday after rival Ukrainian demonstrators clashed in the mainly Russian-speaking eastern city of Donetsk, medical officials said.

In the worst violence since last month's overthrow of Ukraine's Moscow-backed president, hundreds of people waving Russian flags and chanting for Russian President Vladimir Putin scuffled on the central Lenin Square with demonstrators flying Ukrainian flags and condemning Russia's takeover of Crimea.

By late evening, the streets were quiet again.

The local health authority said a 22-year-old local man died of a knife wound and 15 others were being treated in hospital. Organizers of the pro-EU rally, which also denounced Russia's takeover of Crimea, said the dead man was from their group.

1. Ah yes, setting up the pretext.

There was a rumor today that they'd move on the east on Sunday. Part of the reason the stock market cratered today.
