In Ukraine, the government says a National Guard member has been killed and 125 people injured, most of them officers, as members of nationalist parties clashed with security forces outside Ukraine’s Parliament. The Ukrainian government blamed the violence on ultra-nationalists, whom security forces accused of throwing grenades. The unrest came after lawmakers backed a measure to grant more autonomy to two eastern regions currently held by pro-Russia rebels. The measure is one of the first steps in a peace deal intended to end the conflict in eastern Ukraine, which has killed more than 7,000 people since it began in March of last year.
