About 5 thousand people gathered for the anti-war rally, and about 2 thousand participants came to the square for the pro-Russian rally. Already when people began to disperse, a fight broke out, in which about 400 people took part.
Three ambulance teams were on duty at the scene, and seven victims contacted them. One person was taken to the regional traumatology center.
At the end of the rally, a group of people broke into the studio of the Donbass TV and Radio Broadcasting Company, and the broadcast was interrupted, Ostrov reports. Participants of a pro-Russian rally who came into the studio complained to the staff that they were not objectively showing the events in the city, and left.
An hour later, about 40 strong men with St. George ribbons occupied the hall of the State Treasury building in the Donetsk region, demanding not to transfer taxes to Kyiv. They do not intend to go further into the building, since there is important equipment there. They intend to stay in the lobby until the morning, wait for the employees to arrive, and then decide whether to let them into the state treasury department. In addition, the invaders claim that they are guarding the premises so that important documents are not destroyed.
