A Changing Narrative in Ukraine: click here

On April 6^th, protesters opposing Maidan rule pushed their way into government buildings in the south-eastern regional capitals of Donetsk, Kharkov, and Lugansk. In Donetsk, the ultra-nationalist Pravy Sector tried to squelch the protests right away by sending in around 20 people armed with Molotov cocktails and weapons. However, locals spotted the intruders, confiscated their weapons and Molotov cocktails, and sent them back to Kiev after a duck walk through the corridor of shame. They were forced to walk past the people without their masks.
