Amid Continued Defiance, Ukrainian Official Vows: 'We Are Not Stopping'

Slavyansk, Ukraine (CNN) -- On the one side, Ukraine's interior minister said Saturday that military operations in the east would continue and vowed, "We are not stopping."

.

On the other, there was the pro-Russian separatist leader in Luhansk who announced the formation of an army to march on Kiev.

.

These and other statements suggest Ukraine's future will feature yet more unrest, more fighting and more likelihood that it will spawn a full-scale civil war and, perhaps, an international one.

.

Interior Minister Arsen Avakov said the "active phase" of an operation involving "special units ... instructed to stop the provocation" was in its second day Saturday and centered in Kramatorsk, where people were urged to stay indoors.

.

A CNN team on the outskirts of the city, which is some 16 kilometers (10 miles) south of Slavyansk, saw troop carriers moving toward the city center. Amateur video posted online -- which CNN could not confirm the authenticity of -- showed burnt out buses, plumes of smoke and residents calmly observing it all.

.

Russia continued to condemn this and other actions by the Kiev-based government targeting those aligned with Moscow.

.

In a phone call Saturday with U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said, "(The) punitive operation in the southeastern Ukraine plunges the country into fratricidal conflict."

.

This unrest raises the prospect of Russia becoming even more involved, whether that involves taking over all or parts of the region peacefully as it did with Crimea or as part of a full-scale military conflict.

.

Dmitry Peskov, Russian President Vladimir Putin's spokesman, told CNN that his nation's government had received thousands of calls in the past 24 hours from people in southeastern Ukraine. The callers described the situation as "horrendous" and pleaded for Russia's involvement.

.

"Most of the people literally demand active help from Russia," Peskov said.

Separatist leader: We won't wait 'until we are encircled and burned'

.

If Moscow does get involved militarily, they won't have to go far: NATO has estimated up to 40,000 Russian troops are now near the border with Ukraine, a fact that has made not just Ukraine but other neighboring nations wary of invasion.

.

Ukraine's military has stepped up its own activity, including the launch Friday of its biggest push yet to reassert control over parts of the nation's east.

.

Earlier this week, acting Ukrainian President Oleksandr Turchynov acknowledged that the central government has effectively lost control of the country's Donetsk and Luhansk regions to the pro-Russian separatists.
