The Associated Press DONETSK, UKraiNE » Ukrai- nian authorities moved to quell pro-Moscow upris- ings along the Russian bor- der with mixed results Tues- day, retaking one occupied regional headquarters and watching protesters consol- idate their hold on another. In a third city, Luhansk, Ukraine's Security Service said separatists armed with explosives and other weap - ons were holding 60 people hostage inside the agency's local headquarters. Those occupying the build - ing issued a video statement saying they want a referen- dum on the region's status and warning that any attempt to storm the place would be met with armed force. In the video, posted by Ukrainian media, a masked man identified the occupi - ers as Ukrainian veterans of the Soviet war in Afghan- istan and said that if author- ities try to retake the build- ing, "Welcome to hell, then!" The Ukrainian govern- ment and the U.S. have ac- cused Moscow of foment- ing the unrest as a pretext for another Russian military incursion like the takeover of Crimea last month. Up to 40,000 Russian troops are massed along the Ukrainian border, according to NATO. All the cities affected by the uprisings are in Ukraine's industrial heart - land in the east, which has a large population of ethnic Russians and where hostil- ity is strong toward the gov- ernment that took power in February after the ouster of Kremlin-friendly President Viktor Yanukovych. European Union envoy Catherine Ashton said she will meet with U.S., Russian and Ukrainian foreign min - isters next week to discuss the situation. In Washington, Secretary of State John Kerry threat - ened tougher economic sanc- tions against Moscow. "What we see from Rus- sia is an illegal and illegiti- mate effort to destabilize a sovereign state and create a contrived crisis with paid operatives across an interna - tional boundary," Kerry told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Kerry called the demon - strations in eastern Ukraine a "contrived pretext for mil- itary intervention just as we saw in Crimea." Earlier Tuesday, Ukrai- nian authorities battled pro-Russian protesters and regained control over a gov- ernment building in Kharkiv, the country's second-largest city, evicting the protesters and detaining dozens. Acting President Olek - sandr Turchynov told Par- liament that several po- lice were injured during the Kharkiv clashes with what he termed separatists. In Donetsk, a city 250 kilo - meters south of Kharkiv, pro- testers dug in for their third day at the 11-story regional administration headquarters they captured on Sunday and began forming their own par - allel government. Serhiy Taruta, the gover- nor of Donetsk, scoffed at the shifting events in his city. "I call this a theater of the absurd," he said. "It is just artists performing, but the main thing is that there is an ever-dwindling audience."
