After days of failing to enforce its own ultimatums, the Ukrainian government says a military operation is underway this evening to confront pro-Russian militants in the east of the country. 

 

 

Acting president Oleksandr Turchynov says Krematorsk airport in eastern Ukraine is retaken from pro-Russian militants, according to Interfax.

Heavy gunfire has been heard at the airport and the mayor of Kramatorsk said Ukrainian troops have now occupied the military airport and are blocking its entrance.

 

The country’s acting president earlier announced an “anti-terrorist operation” to root out the separatists .

The first indication that the operation represented more than just words this time was a modest Ukrainian military checkpoint established on a road north of the town of Slovyansk, which has been controlled by militants since Saturday.

Witnesses said a dozen armored personnel carriers parked on the road flew Ukrainian flags about 40 kilometers north of the town. 

 

There were no credible reports of confrontations with the well-armed and apparently Russian-backed forces in the town.

“On Tuesday morning, in the north of Donetsk region, an anti-terrorist operation began,” said the Ukrainian speaker of parliament and acting president, Mr Turchynov.

“It will be carried out in stages, and responsibly and in a balanced manner. The goal is the defense of citizens of Ukraine.”

Mr Turchynov, who has asserted in recent days that Russian soldiers have joined the Ukrainian militants who have seized police stations and the entire town of Slovyansk, said the country was confronting a “colossal danger” but offered the assurance that “there will be no civil war.” 

 

In a nod to the wide backing for pro-Russian groups in parts of the east, Mr Turchynov said that, “along with the Russian special forces and the terrorists there are hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian citizens in the Donbass who were tricked by Russian propaganda.” The Donbass is a coal-mining region that includes the city of Donetsk.

Russian prime minister Dmitry Medvedev warned of the risk of bloodshed in Ukraine’s eastern provinces. The Ukrainian troops were not moving by early afternoon today. 

 

Ahead of them in Slovyansk, scores of armed men maintained their hold on the police and domestic security service building and the City Hall. 

 

They have barricaded the roads and, locals say, placed snipers on roofs. 

 

And yet the town remained crowded with people milling about the streets and standing at protests in front of barricades, illustrating that an overly assertive Ukrainian military response could quickly lead to heavy civilian casualties and play into Moscow’s narrative that Russian-speakers are in need of protection.

An initial deadline set by Mr Turchynov to start a “large-scale anti-terrorist operation” in the east passed without any clear police or military intervention yesterday. 

 

The passive approach risked encouraging the pro-Russian groups to go further, and yesterday militants seized another government building in the Donetsk region, bringing to at least nine the number of eastern towns now swept up.

In a sign of the heightened tension, Ukraine seemed to teeter toward a run on bank deposits yesterday. The central bank was compelled to raise one of its key interest rates from 6.5 percent to 9.5 percent to slow the rapid slide of the national currency, the hryvnia, as people withdrew deposits and converted savings into hard currency. The sliding currency also accelerated inflation by increasing the costs of imported goods, exacerbating the difficulties faced by residents in the east, who complain that the new government is mismanaging the economy.
