Ukraine's acting President Oleksandr Turchynov has called on law enforcement agencies to renew anti-terror measures across the country.
The comments from Turchynov came while citing the discovery of two tortured bodies near the city of Slaviansk.
Turchynov said that one of the victims was Vladimir Rybak, who was a member of the local parliament and belonged to the President's political party, CNN reports.

According to the report, he said that such crimes were being committed with the support of Russian forces.
