    Auch in der Millionenstadt Odessa im Süden der Ukraine, wo es bisher vergleichsweise ruhig war, eskalierte am Freitag die Gewalt: Beim Brand eines Gewerkschaftsgebäudes sind in der Hafenstadt Dutzende Menschen ums Leben gekommen, in ersten Meldungen war von bis zu 38 Toten die Rede. Dies gab die Polizei in der Schwarzmeerstadt am Abend bekannt.

    Der Brand sei nach Auseinandersetzungen zwischen pro-russischen Separatisten und Anhängern der ukrainischen Landeseinheit ausgebrochen, so die Polizei. Es handle sich um eine "kriminelle Brandstiftung". "38 Menschen sind ums Leben gekommen. 30 starben an einer Rauchgasvergiftung, acht weitere nachdem sie auf der Flucht vor den Flammen aus dem Fenster gesprungen waren", hieß es.........http://diepresse.com/home/politik/aussenpolitik/3800476/Ukraine_Dutzende-Tote-bei-Brand-in-Odessa?_vl_backlink=/home/politik/aussenpolitik/1563377/index.do&direct=1563377
