Here's an update from RFE/RL's Ukrainian Service on the Mukacheve standoff:
Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko called an extraordinary session of the Military Cabinet of the National Security Council on July 13 in an effort to end a confrontation between fighters from a radical nationalist group and police following a deadly shootout in the western city of Mukacheve.
Ukrainian security forces have been seeking the surrender of armed members of Right Sector since the gunbattle on July 11 that killed at least three people.
The confrontation highlighted tension between the government and nationalist groups who played a role in the protests that pushed Moscow-backed President Viktor Yanukovych from power last year but now challenge the authority of the pro-Western leaders in government.
Authorities launched an operation on July 11 to disarm Right Sector members near Mukacheve, but they apparently hid in woods near the border with Hungary and Slovakia.
Officials said two of the men had surrendered and 12 remained defiant. Officials and Right Sector gave conflicting accounts of the cause of the shootout on July 11.
Dozens of Right Sector supporters protested in Kyiv and other major cities demanding the dismissal of Interior Minister Arsen Avakov.
