No news from eastern #Ukraine today. That is really good news. Maybe #Putin's terror campaign slowing down? #Crimea #Russia #FSB #Terrorism

"This is the question [Ukrainians] are beginning to ask the Americans. They are trying to dodge it, saying something like, 'Yes, the price will certainly not be low, but this is your alternative [fuel] supply.' It is likely that such statements are aimed at propping up a European negotiating position against us, but it will hardly change our stance."

The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) says it has detained 15 people on suspicion of plotting to overthrow authorities in the mostly Russian-speaking eastern region of Luhansk, news agencies report. The SBU said 300 machine guns, an antitank grenade launcher, a large number of grenades, plus handguns and petrol bombs had been seized in the security operation. An SBU statement said “the group of attackers planned to carry out an armed seizure of power on April 10 in the Luhansk region through the intimidation of the peaceful population and the use of weapons and explosives.” No names or additional details about the alleged plot were provided. The announcement came after Russia’s Federal Security Service said earlier this week that it had detained 25 Ukrainians on suspicion of planning attacks in Russia.
