Looks like it's kicking off out there:

Many pro-Russia rebels have been killed, injured and arrested in the Ukrainian government offensive in the eastern city of Sloviansk, acting President Oleksandr Turchynov has said.

But, in a statement, he said the operation in the rebel-held city was not going as quickly as hoped.

Rebels earlier shot down two Ukrainian army helicopters, killing a pilot and a serviceman.
