"The United States today mourns with all
Ukrainians the heartbreaking loss of life in Odesa. Today the
international community must stand together in support of the Ukrainian
people as they cope with this tragedy.
The violence and mayhem that led to so many senseless deaths and injuries is unacceptable. We call on all sides to work together to restore calm and law and order, and we call on the Ukrainian authorities to launch a full investigation and to bring all those responsible to justice.
The events in Odesa that led to the deadly fire in the Trade Union Building dramatically underscore the need for an immediate de-escalation of tensions in Ukraine.
The violence and efforts to destabilize the country must end. We again call for the immediate implementation of the commitments made in Geneva on April 17.
The United States stands ready to support this implementation."

Police in Ukraine's Odessa detain 130 after fire, fighting kill dozens...
ReplyDeleteMore than 130 people have been detained in Ukraine's southern port city of Odessa after dozens were killed in a fire and street fighting involving pro-Russian and groups supporting the government in Kiev, police said on Saturday.
In a statement, local police chief Petro Lutsiuk said those detained could face charges ranging from participating in riots to premeditated murder for Friday's street battles, which resulted in the city's trade union building being set on fire.
Most of those killed either choked on smoke or died after jumping out of the building's windows, officials said.
Police quickly lost control on Friday as hundreds of men including soccer fans staged running battles across the city. Lutsiuk said the police would do everything "to prevent such tragedies in the future".
