US warns Russia over 'destabilisation'
The US has voiced "great concern" about heightened tension in eastern Ukraine after pro-Russia demonstrators seized government buildings in three cities.
US Secretary of State John Kerry told Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov in a phone call that any Russian efforts at destabilisation "would incur costs".
They discussed the possibility of direct talks within the next 10 days.
Ukraine is sending security officials to 3 cities after buildings there were stormed.
