Kiev: Pro-Russian activists attacked a pro-Kiev rally in Crimea with clubs and whips on Sunday as thousands took to the streets across Ukraine in rival demonstrations, escalating separatist tensions in the troubled ex-Soviet state.
Interim Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk vowed Ukraine would not cede “an inch” of its territory to Moscow after Russian forces and pro-Kremlin gunmen took over the Black Sea peninsula. “This is our land,” he said to a crowd of thousands in Kiev.
In the Crimean capital Simferopol, hundreds of protesters took part in separate rallies for Ukrainian unity and for joining Russia. Meanwhile, US President Barack Obama will meet in Washington this week with Ukraine’s interim PM Arseniy Yatsenyuk.
