A Ukrainian journalist shows a photograph of Igor Strelkov, a military commander of pro-Russian militias in Slovyansk, to his supposed neighbors in Moscow, Russia, Tuesday, April 29, 2014. Camera crews swarmed around an apartment building that Ukrainian TV reported to be home to the commander’s mother. Neighbors told The Associated Press that a “fancy black car” had turned up Tuesday morning to whisk the woman away.
