Please continue praying for the future of Ukraine, and wisdom for their interim president who is a Christian.

(Ukraine)—Media reports note the escalation of violence by pro-Russian activists in east Ukraine, as protesters attacked a police station recently, throwing rocks, and ransacking the building in Horlivka.

In response, interim president Olexander Turchynov warned he was "preparing an 'anti-terrorist operation' against gunmen occupying government buildings in Sloviansk," among other cities, according to the BBC News report.

Acting President Turchynov also stated that Kiev wasn't opposed to voting on Ukraine's future, which is one of the protesters' main demands.
