Protesters at the Donetsk Oblast administration building have expressed support for Crimea’s independence and hope that Crimea will recognize the independence of the Donetsk Republic, ITAR-TASS reports.
Barricades around the administration have grown overnight. The protesters can be split into people fearing fascism; people demanding more authority, a referendum on the status of Donbass, release of protesters and the status of the Russian language as the second state language; people refusing to recognize the Kiev government and willing to join Russia.
