On May 25, in Donetsk the correspondents of ZIK had to leave the central square of the city, where the pro-Russian rally was held. Unidentified men approached their car and insisted that the reporters leave. Several hundred rally participants kept waving flags of Russia and of the so-called Donetsk People’s Republic and shouting ‘Thank you’ to armed separatists, which arrived in trucks with an emblem «Squadron «East».
