Dozens of protesters also stormed the offices of the state security service in nearby Luhansk and three people were injured, two protesters and a police officer, a Ukrainian television channel reported. Police declined to comment. Mainly Russian-speaking eastern Ukraine, including Donetsk, the hometown of pro-Russian former president Viktor Yanukovich, has seen a sharp rise in tensions since his ouster and the installation of a pro-European government in Kiev. Branding the new Kiev government illegitimate, Russia has annexed Ukraine's Crimea region citing threats to its Russian-speaking majority, a move that has sparked the biggest standoff between Moscow and the West since the end of the Cold War. More than 1,000 people protested in a main square in Donetsk, an industrial city, before breaking into the regional administrative building where they hung a Russian flag from a second floor balcony, a Reuters witness said. The protesters outside cheered and chanted "Russia!". [/QUOTE] [url]http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/04/06/us-ukraine-crisis-storm-idUSBREA350B420140406[/url]

[QUOTE=MrEndangered;44470251]"100 pro-Russians? Clearly we need a referendum here"[/QUOTE] Yes you're right. But this can incite more revolt.
How long will it take until Donetsk "self-defence" forces show up?
Russians in danger, activate "self-defense" forces.

The tanks are 30 minutes away from Donetsk
Wait, didn't the whole Kiev riots start because they were anti-Russia?

[QUOTE=joost1120;44472757]Wait, didn't the whole Kiev riots start because they were anti-Russia?[/QUOTE] That's in a different part of the country. There seems to be a relatively strong gradient between enthnoses in the east/west direction.
[quote]More than 1,000 people protested in a main square in Donetsk, an industrial city, before breaking into the regional administrative building where they hung a Russian flag from a second floor balcony, a Reuters witness said.[/quote] but wasn't the turnout of pro-european protestors like several 0's more... like 10,000+?
And it goes on and on and on and on.
if they love russia so fucking much then why not move instead of storming ukrainian government buildings
