Pro-Russia activists attack police station in Odessa
2014-05-05
[Washington Post] Divisions deepened in Ukraine's third-largest city Sunday as pro-Russian Death Eaters attacked a cop shoppe in Odessa and freed 67 of their allies, while pro-Ukrainian activists gathered with sticks and clubs and vowed to defend the southern city from the kind of takeovers that have occurred in the eastern part of the country.

The spread of the violence to Odessa has raised the stakes dramatically in the Ukraine crisis, bringing the conflict between pro-Russian and pro-Ukrainian forces to the country's most important port. The failure of the police to prevent the violence has underlined how quickly Ukraine's security forces are losing control of their country.
