I just saw the video, doesn’t tell you much, however, let us assume that the soldiers are Ukrainian, according to the commentary I just read (assuming this is a correct translation), the crowd was apparently saying “fags”, **“we will kill you all”/B], “come here, 1one1”, i.e., threatening to kill someone is an offense is it not, i.e., you can get arrested for that, no? Moreover, these people were walking towards and not away from these armed soldiers, while continuously chanting these comments. Whoever shot the bullets did not intend to harm the protestors but to scare them off, i.e., there were many bullets shot into the air one of which could have ricocheted off of something and hit a protestor, again, we don’t know much of what is happening in this video, but there was only one person shot. If the intent of those soldiers was to harm the protestors than they would have been harmed en masse, but they weren’t. Assuming this is all real and not some hoax and the soldiers are Ukrainian while the protestors are pro-Russian all this video attests to is that these protestors believe all the vile Russian propaganda that is being spewed about the present interim government (which will be gone in less than two weeks from now).
p.s. Again, it seems rather odd for the separatists to go to the trouble of creating separate political enclaves when the interim government will be gone soon, but once you realize that their true intent is to join Russia with the help, of course, of Russia itself (even though the majority of Eastern Ukrainians want unification) than it is no longer odd but extremely dangerous/treasonous what these separatists are doing, hence the reason the Ukrainian army is required.**
At least they weren’t throwing molotov cocktails at their heads, as were the Maidan protesters against the police who were ‘warned’ not to retaliate by Yanukovich. NO armed force should fire live or any type of ammo at people ‘shouting’ at them.
