Police station attacked in Odessa, pro Russian prisoners freed



Participants of a rally attacked a city police department HQ in Odessa as they demanded the release of people arrested after recent (May 2) street battles between pro-Russian and pro-Ukrainian supporters in the Black Sea port of Odessa.

Fearing that mob will break down doors, the police opened the cells by themselves and have let out prisoners. 



Earlier this day, Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseny Yatseniuk accused Russia of engineering clashes in Odessa that led to the deaths of more than 40 pro-Russian activists in a blazing building and pushed the country closer to civil war.
