Lawmakers in Ukraine have met in Parliament to discuss whether to hold a national referendum on federalization.

Acting¹ Ukrainian President Oleksandr Turchynov also gave a statement on the current situation in the country. A more federal structure of governance has been touted² as a possible political reform as an olive branch to pro-Russia activists³ in the country’s east.

Earlier, on Monday, Pro-Russia activists clashed with protesters holding a pro-Ukraine rally in the eastern city of Donetsk. Police attempted to hold back the pro-Russians, some of whom had bats and shields, but then largely stood aside as dozens of protesters were battered⁴.

The European Union has released the names of 15 new targets of sanctions because of their alleged⁵ roles in the Ukraine crisis. Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Kozak and pro-Russia activists' leaders in Crimea and the eastern Ukrainian cities of Lugansk and Donetsk were also on the list.
