A group of Western journalists from a number of news outlets was detained by pro-Russian militants in Eastern Ukraine.

CBS reporter Clarissa Ward and her news crew, along with BuzzFeed's Mike Giglio and reporters from Sky News, were held, blindfolded and interrogated for hours as they attempted was traveling to Slavyansk, a city that Ukrainian troops are trying to retake from pro-Russian groups. Ward told "CBS This Morning" that the group was stopped at a checkpoint and detained.
