07:58 GMT: Russia expressed outrage over the reported attack of masked gunmen, supposedly members of the radical group Right Sector, on a peaceful demonstration in Kharkov on Saturday, the Russian foreign ministry said in a statement. The ministry also criticized the coupe-imposed government for encroaching on freedom of the press by barring seven Russian journalists from entering Ukraine, on a pretext of allegedly biased reporting, and for the ongoing blockade of travel between Russia and Ukraine. The statement said western countries, rights organizations and media are keeping a “shamefaced silence” on these issues, which puts in question their adherence to objectivity and democracy.
