Vladimir Putin has warned there will be “consequences” if Ukraine has used its army against pro-Russian activists in the east.

Ukraine’s interior ministry said “up to five terrorists” were killed in clashes during a military operation to clear three checkpoints in the eastern town of Slavyansk on Thursday.

Reuters is reporting Ukrainian forces have now withdrawn.

The Russian President responded: “If Kiev really began to use the army against the country’s population… that is a very serious crime against its own people.

“That is simply a punitive measure that will without question have consequences… including for our inter-governmental relations.”

Ukraine announced on Wednesday that it was re-launching a campaign against pro-Russia insurgents occupying government buildings.

The country’s military liberated a town hall in eastern Mariupol without any casualties, according to interior minister Arsen Avakov on Facebook.

He also claimed 70 people led by Russian soldiers raided a Ukrainian base at Artemivsk, wounding one soldier…. see more
