...At least one pro-Kiev protester was stabbed and killed (click here) in the eastern city of Donetsk when a demonstration in favor of Ukrainian unity was attacked by a Russian separatist crowd.
News of the death broke as Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk addressed an emergency session of the UN Security Council on the crisis opposing his interim government and the Kremlin.
Yatsenyuk said a negotiated solution was still possible, if Russia agrees to withdraw its forces from the Ukrainian peninsula of Crimea and begin a serious diplomatic dialogue.
"We want to have talks. We don't want to have any kind of military aggression," he insisted, turning to directly address Russia's UN ambassador Vitaly Churkin.
Churkin ridiculed the idea that there had been an "idyllic situation" before the crisis, but said: "Russia does not want war and nor do the Russians, and I'm convinced that Ukrainians don't want this either."
Ukraine and Russia have been locked in an escalating stand-off since February 22, when a street revolt overthrew Ukraine's former pro-Kremlin president Viktor Yanukovych....

KIEV — Ukrainian prosecutors have opened more criminal cases against fugitive President Viktor Yanukovych, including on charges of unconstitutional seizure of power, extremism and money laundering.
Acting prosecutor general and member of the nationalist Svoboda party, Oleh Makhnitsky, told reporters on Thursday that Yanukovych was wanted on power abuse and murder charges.
Last month, Ukraine requested Interpol to issue Red Notice, or an international wanted persons alert, for Yanukovych as part of that criminal case....
Yanukovych calls his opponents 'neo-fascists' in defiant speech from Rostov-on-Don, Russia (click here)
...In a defiant statement delivered in the southern city of Rostov-on-Don, Russia, Yanukovych attacked what he called the "band of ultranationalists and neo-fascists" that have replaced his government, and criticized their Western backers.
"I want to ask the patrons of these dark forces in the West: Have you gone blind? Have you forgotten what fascism is?" Yanukovych told reporters in his second such appearance since his overthrow on Feb. 22....
Fascism. Let's see, what exactly is fascism. Fascism is a political philosophy, movement, or regime that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition.
Who exactly is the fascist?

On Feb. 22, (click here) as word spread that Viktor Yanukovych had fled Kiev, a
large crowd began to descend on his residence in Mezhyhirya, some 12 miles outside the capital. They were shocked by what they found.
The Ukrainian president's mansion had long been rumored to be exceptionally luxurious (some said it cost around $100 million to build), but what was inside was outside many people's wildest imaginations: Yanukovych had a huge collection of luxury cars, his own private zoo, a golf course, and, for some reason, a galleon....
...In a series of videos uploaded to YouTube under the name Виктор Хонка, security footage captures a large number of people removing goods from the home from Feb. 19 to the early hours of Feb. 22....
...So what is Yanukovych removing from the home? For one thing, it appears he is taking a lot of paintings, plus lots of guns and a small dog.
Ahhhhhh, fluffy.
I'll be darn the Mr. and Mrs. didn't trust the same limo to travel to the Crimean airport.
What, no Mayflower?
