TURMOIL ESCALATES
Snip:
Local morgues were overflowing with bodies and rebel leaders said Tuesday that the death toll could rise up to 100.
The city of about 1 million was mostly quiet in the afternoon after an arson attack in the morning that torched a local hockey rink. Occasional gunfire was heard in the morning outside Donetsk airport.
The battles came as billionaire candy magnate Petro Poroshenko claimed victory in Sunday's presidential vote, which authorities in Kiev had hoped would unify the deeply divided nation. Poroshenko, who is yet to be sworn in, has vowed to negotiate a peaceful end to the insurgency in the east, but also has called the separatists "Somali pirates" and promised he would stop them from sowing more chaos.

Hoping this is the storm before the calm and Ukraine isn't approaching a civil war.
