Fights and abductions, a Ukrainian routine

Around 1,000 people who were marching for Ukrainian unity and peace in the city of Donetsk, eastern Ukraine, were confronted by pro-Russian supporters on the street.

A violent outbreak ensued, the police having little to no effect in managing to keep the two sides apart.

The result of the clash was the hospitalization of 15 marchers while four other have been, presumably, abducted.

Abduction numbers seem to be on the rise.

Seven other European military observers are still being held hostages in Slovyansk after a team of negotiators sent to retrieve them failed to complete their mission successfully.

Pro-Russian supporters seem to be gaining control over Ukraine slowly but steadily, one step after another.
