Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has pledged a tough reaction to those who are involved in a fatal blast in Kharkiv on Sunday, according to his Facebook post.

"It's Shrove Sunday today, but despite this, evil terrorism has revealed its predatory nature. I express my deepest condolences to the relatives and friends of the victims," Poroshenko wrote on Facebook.

"The blasts staged by non-human creatures during a peaceful march in Kharkiv is a bold attempt to expand the zone of terrorism. Those who are involved in this will get a tough reaction! Those responsible will be held accountable," the president wrote.
