Two killed in Ukraine as Crimea prepares breakaway vote
Kharkiv
(Ukraine) (AFP) - Ukraine braced on Saturday for a breakaway vote in
Crimea as deadly violence flared again in the ex-Soviet country's
tinderbox east amid the biggest East-West showdown since the Cold War.

reserved the right to "protect" compatriots in the whole of Ukraine. US
Secretary of State John Kerry had on Friday failed to either avert
