Kerry to hold talks with Russia as Ukraine tensions soar
Donetsk (Ukraine) (AFP) - US Secretary of State John Kerry will on Friday hold crunch talks with Russia in a bid to defuse tensions ahead of a breakaway vote in Crimea, as street battles turned deadly in eastern Ukraine. Kerry has warned Moscow of a serious backlash over Sunday's referendum, which is widely rejected as illegitimate and could see the Black Sea peninsula slip from Ukrainian control and into Russia's grasp. Both Ukraine and Moscow insisted in front of the UN Security Council on Thursday that they did not want war, even as tensions over the advance of Russian forces in Crimea claimed their first victim when a pro-Kiev protester was stabbed and killed in the eastern city of Donetsk. The neighbours have been locked in an escalating stand-off since February 22, when a wave of street revolts ended up ousting Ukraine's pro-Kremlin president Viktor Yanukovych.
