Europe - Pro-Russia separatists defy Kiev's threats of ‘full-scale' offensive - France 24:

An early morning deadline set by Kiev for pro-Moscow militants to disarm and leave the administrative buildings they have seized in the country's separatist east passed on Monday with no sign of the rebels complying.

Russia warned Sunday of civil war in Ukraine after the government in Kiev said it would launch a “full-scale anti-terrorist operation” against the pro-Moscow militants in the east unless they complied with the ultimatum.
