Also I hear that Russia will intensify (unofficial) support for the Novorossians. If true, welcome move.Russia has promised to respond with "irreversible consequences" to a "dangerous escalation" of violence near its border, after a Russian man was killed and two women injured by shells fired across the Ukraine border.
Alexander Titov, a spokesman for the regional government in Rostov, told the Russian news agency Itar Tass that a shell damaged two homes at about 5.20am GMT in Donetsk, a town of the same name as the city in eastern Ukraine.
The Russian town of Donetsk is near the border with Ukraine's Luhansk region, where Kiev-backed troops and pro-Russian separatists are fighting for the control of border checkpoints.
Grigory Karasin, Russia's deputy foreign minister, said the incident represented a "dangerous escalation for our citizens" and promised it "will not be left without a response", in televised remarks.
His ministry said the bombing was "an aggressive act by the Ukrainian side against sovereign Russian territory and the citizens of the Russian Federation".
