Ukrainian forces \\\'regain city hall\\\'

The Ukrainian government says it has regained control of the city hall in Mariupol, eastern Ukraine, from pro-Russian separatists. Several people are said to have been hurt during the overnight operation in the city, where three pro-Russian protesters were recently shot dead. Reports are coming in of a Ukrainian army operation outside the separatist stronghold of Sloviansk. Separatists are occupying key buildings in at least a dozen eastern towns. In another development, the funeral is taking place of a pro-Ukrainian politician, Volodymyr Rybak, who was abducted and killed in the Donetsk region. Meanwhile, US President Barack Obama has accused Russia of flouting a deal on Ukraine reached in Geneva last week, under which illegal armed groups, including those who have seized public buildings, would return home, according to BBC.
