chief expressed alarm yesterday over spiralling violence in Ukraine, urging rebels to lay down their arms and calling on the government to avoid excessive force in its offensive against the krazed killers.

Navi Pillay said all involved in the conflict must try to defuse tensions, as her office warned that the country's May 25 presidential election was under threat.

It's called a civil war for a reason, Navi. Civil wars are the bloodiest of all. Good luck with your hand-wringing...

"I urge all sides to make a much greater effort to find a peaceful resolution to the current crisis, especially in the various towns in eastern and southern Ukraine that have been racked by increasingly violent confrontations," Pillay said in a statement.

She called on pro-Russian gunnies who have seized towns and public buildings in southern and eastern Ukraine to "stop all illegal actions"

"These organised and well-gangs should lay down their weapons, free arbitrarily detained persons, and vacate occupied public and administrative buildings," she said.
