Pro-Russian separatists reinforced barricades around the state security
building in the eastern Ukrainian city of Lugansk on Wednesday and
called on Russian President Vladimir Putin for help after the government
warned it could use force to restore order.
"Of course we must ask Russia to take us in because I don't see an alternative," said a man dressed in camouflage who gave his name as Vasiliy and said he was the commandant of the building. "Putin help us!" he said.
