From Washington, this is VOA News. Ukraine struggles for control in east as U.S. links Moscow to unrest; U.S. and China talk tough on regional policy. I'm Ray Kouguell, reporting from Washington. Ukraine's government struggled Tuesday to assert and maintain control of key cities in its pro-Russian east as pressure mounts to bridge ethnic and political divides threatening to further split the country. Authorities say shots were fired and at least 60 pro-Moscow protesters were arrested in Kharkiv, while to the south, pro-Russian demonstrators dug in for a third day at a government facility captured Sunday in the city of Donetsk. Elsewhere, Ukrainian security officials say protesters in Luhansk, who are also seeking to split Ukraine and join Russia, wired and occupied building with explosives and were holding 60 hostages. __________________________ 美国之音新闻,华盛顿报道.就在美国指责俄罗斯引发动乱之际,乌克兰正加紧对东部的控制.中美双方对于区域政策的态度均十分强硬.雷?库格尔华盛顿为您报道. 乌克兰急需缓和民族问题,弥合政治分歧,否则国家会进一步分裂,在重重压力之下,周二,乌克兰政府努力维持对亲俄东部地区重点城市的控制权.当局表示,哈尔科夫发生枪击事件,至少60名亲俄抗议者被捕.在南部地区,顿列茨克的亲俄抗议者们在周日占据的政府机关内连续第三天开挖战壕.在其他地方,乌克兰安全官员表示,卢甘斯克的示威者们也企图制造分裂加入俄罗斯,他们在占据的大楼内安装炸弹,并挟持60名人质. _________________________
