RFE/RL's News Desk has some more details regarding Turchynov's announcement:
Ukraine's acting president, Oleksandr Turchynov, has cancelled a trip to Lithuania scheduled for April 7 to deal with pro-Russia protests in eastern Ukraine.
Turchynov also held an emergency meeting with the heads of law enforcement agencies after protesters in two major eastern Ukrainian cities -- Donetsk and Luhansk -- seized a regional government building and a state security office on April 6.
In Donetsk, a group of protesters barricaded themselves inside the regional administration building.
They threatened to set up a "people's council" and demanded that a referendum like the one held in Crimea be held in the Donetsk region over whether it should join Russia.
In Luhansk, Ukraine's Security Service, the SBU, released six pro-Russia activists who were arrested last month after protesters broke into its office.
Pro-Russia protests were also held in Kharkiv.
