Peaceful rallies in eastern Ukrainian city of Kharkov turned violent as a crowd of several thousand football ultras attacked a crowd of some 300 pro-Russian protesters. At least 14 people were injured, including two law enforcement.
Thousands of fans of two Ukrainian football clubs Dnipro and Metalist have gathered in Kharkov’s Constitution Square where they joined some 250 pro-Kiev activists holding a rally.
Up to 5,000 ultras, according to local media estimates, intended to march in support of the country’s unity from the Square to Metalist stadium, which is some 3 kilometers away and where the game between the two clubs started, as scheduled, at 19:30 local time (16:30 GMT).
The march started with Ukrainian anthem and drum-rolls. Football ultras, some equipped with burning torches and petards, were chanting “Glory to Ukraine. Glory to heroes!” and “Ukraine’s above all!”
NEONAZI PRAVIY SEKTOR TOOK PART IN THE RALLY
According to local media, several groups from the Right Sector radical network also took part in the rally.
A massive fight erupted when the football ultras reached the street where the anti-Kiev protesters with St. George ribbons were holding their rally in support of broader regional autonomy from Kiev.
