Pro-Russian activists carry wood to a barricade erected in front of the security service building in the eastern Ukrainian city of Lugansk on April 8, 2014. Ukraine's acting president said on April 8 that he would treat Russian separatists who have seized buildings in the east of the country as \"terrorists\" who will be prosecuted with the full force of the law, as separatists still held on to the security service building in the city of Lugansk after breaking into its massive weapons cache and releasing several activists who had been accused of plotting to stage a coup.
