News server Novosti Donbasu reports that pro-Russian radicals in eastern Ukraine have assaulted several Romani families in Slavyansk, allegedly for racial reasons. Armed pro-Russian separatists broke into their apartments, where they attacked and robbed them.
The news server reports that the radicals took no account of the age or sex of their victims. Children and women were reportedly among those beaten.
Eyewitnesses said the armed men took the stolen property away in vans. "The armed men attacked seven Romani-occupied homes in Slavyansk," said Romani activist Nataliya Varakutova.
The news server reports that the perpetrators claimed to have been acting at the orders of Vyacheslav Ponomaryov, the leader of the pro-Russian insurgents who is calling himself the "people's mayor" of Slavyansk. Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk has also responded to the events in Slavyansk.
