Police said many of those who died were killed by smoke inhalation, or when they tried to jump from the building's upper stories.

But Moscow came in for an onslaught of criticism from other nations, which claimed it had sponsored the rebels, and armed them with weapons capable of bringing down 2 Ukrainian helicopters. Russia was urged strongly to abide by the Geneva agreement reached last month to de-escalate the crisis but its ambassador blamed Ukraine for failing to implement it.

I told President Kiir that the choices that both he and the opposition face are stark and clear.And the unspeakable human costs that we have seen over the course of the last months, and which could even grow if they fail to sit down are unacceptable to the global community. A State Department official said Mr. Kerry had also spoken to Mr. Machar by telephone urging him to bring an end to the violence. Peace talks could get underway next week though Mr. Machar the former vice president has not yet given a firm commitment to attend.
