At least one person has died today in Donetsk, Ukraine after demonstrators supporting the interim Ukrainian government and demonstrators protesting the interim government clashed. The clash began when protestors broke through a police barrier. This was the first protest-related death outside of the Ukrainian capital, Kiev, since the toppling of the regime led by Viktor Yanukovych. At least ten others were injured during the altercation.
The clash comes as Russia confirmed that it has mobilized forces to the Ukrainian border. Military intervention in Russia will bring sanctions from the international community.
Donetsk is located in eastern Ukraine and is primarily inhabited by Russian speakers. Pro-Russia rallies have broken out around eastern Ukraine since the ousting of Yanukovych. South of Donetsk is Crimea, where voters will choose this weekend whether to join its current military occupant, Russia.
