Dozens of pro-separatist people were burned to death today in a building hit with molotovs from right-sektor.
The police just watched. They were ready with shields ready to confront... the people being burned alive in the building.
This article just says people died in a fire.
I think this will have a big impact on the psychology of the region, and convince people of the need for self defense groups and separatism.
If dozens of pro-euro protesters were burned to death in the context of an attack by their political opponents and police, the reporting would be far different...
Yep, but they were pro-Russian. No sympathy from the fascists in Kiev.
Odessa has been Russian for well over 200 years and was not even a city until Catherine the Great named it.
AT LEAST 95% of all development that ever occurred there was done with Russian money and Russian workers.
‘Dozens of pro-separatist people were burned to death today in a building hit with molotovs from right-sektor.’
Some details need to be added.
First, the Right Sector ( a wide spectrum of ‘right’ leaning groups which include average patriots to the more extreme ultra-nationalists with military experience ) was not the main element of the nationalists protests; they were actually largely young people, students, and soccer enthusiasts ( with their hooliganism that goes with it ), BUT these were Odessans.
I saw many videos of the young patriots wrapped in the Ukrainian flag, but I would say Right Sector members may have been 1 in a 100 if that.
So the patriots were having their peaceful march and they were attacked by an extremely well armed and organized pro-referendum ‘protestors’ ( thought I’d use the Russian media’s classification ).
I have read between 5 and 10 patriots died, I believe all from gunshots.
So the patriots did not back down and chased the pro-Russians back to were they had camps set up outside of a government building.
I am not sure if the pro-Russians were already occupying the building, but they made their way into the building, and as the patriots attempted to get close, they began firing weapons and throwing objects from the roof and I believe from inside the building.
The patriots began throwing Molotov cocktails at the building causing it to catch on fire.
I believe all of the pro-Russians that died was from smoke inhalation.
I could not substantiate the source, but I further read that of the 25 bodies they had identified so far, 15 were from Russia and 10 were from Transnistria ( Moldova ).
