A statue of Soviet leader Vladimir Lenin, visible through a tire, stands on the square outside a regional administration building seized by pro-Russian separatists in the eastern Ukrainian city of Slavyansk on April 30, 2014. Ukraine's armed forces are on “full combat alert” against a possible Russian invasion, Kiev said Wednesday, as authorities admitted they were "helpless" to prevent pro-Kremlin insurgents tightening their grip on the increasingly chaotic east of the country. Rebels stormed the regional police building and town hall in the eastern Ukrainian city of Gorlivka, local officials told AFP, adding to more than a dozen locations already under their control.
