In the eastern Ukrainian city of Slovyansk, a pro-Russian armed militia patrolled the streets on Wednesday after previously seizing local police headquarters and the administration building. The troops were enthusiastically greeted in the largely pro-Russian city.
On the same day, in the neighboring country of Slovakia, the Interior Ministry announced it will adopt special measures to strengthen protection of its border with Ukraine. Slovakia’s Interior Minister Robert Kalinak said that he can’t yet specify what these measures are on the 98-kilometer long eastern border.
