Members of Ukraine's IT community come together to record an appeal against war with Russia and to condemn the "military aggression" of Russian President Vladimir Putin in Crimea:
'We are a vast country and believe me, no one here wants a war. All we want is to build truly democratic country that will no longer remind of the Soviet Union."

Russian Gazprom spokesman Sergei Kupriyanov spoke on April 5 on Russian television about suggestions that natural gas could be shipped to Ukraine from the United States:
"Where are these free [gas] capacities in the U.S. that they could readily ship? Also, it takes a huge tanker fleet to ship that amount of gas to the European market. Not only does such a fleet not exist, but there simply is no capacity to build it in any foreseeable future. Finally, what will be the price?

"This is the question [Ukrainians] are beginning to ask the Americans. They are trying to dodge it, saying something like, 'Yes, the price will certainly not be low, but this is your alternative [fuel] supply.' It is likely that such statements are aimed at propping up a European negotiating position against us, but it will hardly change our stance."

RFE/RL's News Desk reports:

The body of a nationalist Ukrainian activist and reporter who played a role in protests that led to the ouster of President Viktor Yanukovych has been found in a forest outside Kyiv a day after his abduction.

In a statement, the Svoboda (Freedom) nationalist party said the body of Vasyl Sergiyenko bore marks of torture and was hidden under rubbish in the woods near the village of Vygrayev, 120 kilometers southeast of the capital.

The statement said Sergiyenko's head was bashed in, his kneecaps mangled, and there were stab wounds near his heart and neck.

Sergiyenko, who was a member of Svoboda, helped organize the protests against Yanukovych in February and was a member of one of the nationalist opposition's self-defense groups that periodically clashed with the police.

The local prosecutor's office confirmed the discovery of the body.
