Russia trying to \\\'dismember Ukraine\\\'

Ukraine's embattled prime minister on Monday accused Russia of trying to "dismember" his country by plotting seizures of government buildings in eastern regions that are seeking to break away from Kiev. Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk's latest volley against Ukraine's giant neighbour came as his top lieutenants fanned out across the heavily Russified eastern swathes of the country trying to regain a semblance of control. Thousands of irate pro-Russian activists broke through police lines on Sunday and occupied the administration buildings in the big industrial cities of Kharkiv and Donetsk as well as the headquarters of the regional security service in Lugansk, according to AFP.
