DONETSK, Ukraine — Clashes broke out on Monday at the airport in restive Donetsk when pro-Russian separatists stormed the terminal and demanded the exit of Ukrainian troops, presenting the first immediate challenge for Ukraine's president-elect, Petro Poroshenko (http://mashable.com/2014/05/25/ukraine-president-petro-poroshenko/?utm_campaign=&utm_context=textlink&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=), the day after his election.
The fighting came as both Poroshenko and Russia's foreign minister said they were open to talks (http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-27573622), but with Poroshenko vowing to continue operations against the separatists in his country's east and Russia warning that the military action must stop.
