A Ukraine crisis update on Wednesday reports that pro- Russian troops seized six military vehicles and disarmed Ukrainian troops in what could be described as a humiliating defeat for their government's "anti-terrorist programme".
Interior Minister Arsen Avakov also said this morning that 300 pro-Russian separatists also threw Molotov cocktails and opened fire on a military unit in Mariupol. According to Avakov, sixty-three people have been arrested and most of the attackers disarmed. His statement reads regarding the latest Ukraine crisis update, "According to preliminary data, three attackers were killed, 13 wounded and 63 detained."
Ukraine crisis update reports the US government threatening further sanctions in lieu of increasing chaos in the country. President Barack Obama even sent a direct warning to Putin saying his actions all face consequences. In an interview with CBS News Wednesday, Obama said, "Each time Russia takes these kinds of steps that are designed to destabilize Ukraine and violate their sovereignty, there are going to be consequences. Mr. Putin's decisions aren't just bad for Ukraine. Over the long term, they're going to be bad for Russia."
