Kyiv, A 30-day state of emergency has been declared in Ukraine in light of military tensions with Russia at the eastern border, said Oleksiy Danilov, secretary of the country’s security council today.
The move could mean Ukrainians will be ordered to stay home or placed under curfew.
The country is on edge after Russia’s decision this week to recognize two separatist regions in Ukraine’s east as independent countries and authorize Russian military forces to enter to prevent what the Kremlin insists is attempted genocide against ethnic Russians.
