Ukrainska myndigheter är mycket väl medvetna om vad landet utsätts för:

[On the evening of April 12, 2014] Mr. Andriy Senchenko, Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration, made a statement to Censor.net regarding the situation in eastern Ukraine:
“Ukraine is the target of military aggression. Sabotage operations are coordinated and directed by special services of the Russian Federation, while local criminal structures act as the organizational core [of these operations]. The Russian strategy entails organizing subversive attacks on government authorities, aimed at provoking armed conflict.
They need victims that would allow anti-Ukrainian propaganda to mobilize peaceful citizens of Luhansk and Donetsk oblasts [regions] for protests. Ukrainian authorities succeeded in stabilizing the situation in Kharkiv, Odesa, Mykolayiv, Zaporizhzhya, and Dnipropetrovsk. In Donetsk, instead of the earlier 5,000 to 10,000 strong rallies, only a few hundred people have come out to support separatist statements today.
Ryssland under Putinismen vandrar mot avgrunden:

NATO Secretary General, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, says: The Russian propaganda against Nato and the West is nothing but smokescreen to cover up its own illegal actions. Dispel the smokescreen, and the truth on the ground is clear: Russia has annexed Crimea at the barrel of a gun, in breach of all its international commitments..
Russia is now isolated in the world, its international credibility in tatters. This is not in Russia's interest.
Russia faces a choice: to stop blaming others for its own actions, pull back its troops, step back into line with its international obligations and start rebuilding trust.
Det sägs att Avakov beordrat polis och personal från specialstyrkan Sokol att tillsammans med avskedade Berkutmedlemmar misshandla de nationalister som de lurpassade på i går nära Kharkiv.
Men nationalisterna tycks ha överlevt och släppts.

The first reports are coming in about those activists arrested near Kharkiv or in it.
In particular, these reports to INFORMATOR mention that law enforcement and separatists, armed with automatic rifles, were waiting for them at entrances to the Kharkiv Region on both sides of the road.
Ordinary police made up a majority of the law enforcement personnel, but soldiers from the disbanded Berkut special forces and soldiers from Sokil’ special forces also took part in the arrests. The latter, after breaking bus windows, leapt inside and took activists out onto the road, and then laid them out on the pavement.
They beat them without giving any reason. They robbed them; they even took away crosses and icons from the patriots. They took domestic and foreign passports, money, phones, and other documents. With anyone who had rings on, they put knives up to their fingers and said, “Take it off, or we’ll take it off with your finger.” One of the activists got stabbed twice through his bulletproof vest.
Currently all the activists are traveling to Kyiv to take photos of their beatings and complain to human rights activists about law enforcement’s actions.
