The situation is really becoming more and more disturbing...

When armed right sector ultra-nationalists surrounded and destroyed a tent-camp of pro-russian activists, the activsts fled to the nearby trade unions house. The trade unions house was then set ablaze by pro-kiew terrorists throwing molotov cocktails,  tear gas, stun grenades etc. inside the building.

In their desparation, some activists jumped out of the windows, several floors down - some survived, lying on the floor badly injured, only to instantly get attacked with bats and chains by an angry right sector mob.

Most others weren't so lucky - dozens died a horrible death in the flames, leaving only burned corpses behind (NSFW!):

Hundreds of policemen were standing around, doing absolutely nothing:

The day I watched it live I had a feeling that this looks familiar (the very same day shots have been fired in Slavyansk, doubt this is a coincidence). At the time there was a dead body in the pro-Maidan crowd already (with a gun shot in the back, which is starnge) and few people injured, eventually crowd started to throw rocks and Molotov cocktails -- I didn't see at whom, but assumed those were pro-Russian protestors -- on the next day I've learned all the details.

It sort of a confirmation bias, I must admit, but that's because scenario is so familiar to me -- who are these people with red armbands -- I noticed them too, as they were easily the most aggressive part of the crowd, but didn't pay much attention to them.

Now I have a feeling that was not only a provocation with tragic consequences, but a provocation that involved certain police officers. The biggest part of the pro-Maidan crowd just have been used as useful idiots. Football fans were the majority of that crowd, they are stupid and controllable, a perfect fit for a scapegoat. It is sooo Maidan- and SBU-style.
