Fierce fighting continues to rage in eastern Ukraine today as government forces claimed they killed 300 pro-Russian separatists.
Kiev's 'anti-terrorist operation' said the rebel fighters were killed and about 500 wounded in the past 24 hours in and around the city of Slaviansk, a strategically located separatist stronghold.
Government forces used aircraft, helicopters and artillery in a fierce attack to try to root out the separatists who have controlled Slaviansk and surrounding areas since early April.
Meanwhile, U.S. President Barack Obama issued a new warning to Russia saying the West will 'refuse to allow the dark tactics of the 20th century to define the 21st.'
