They were yelling that they wanted an end to Kiev's "anti-terrorism operation" (read as civil war) and a stop to the highly unpopular military draft. That is when the bomb was thrown at the marchers.

Seems like kind of odd timing for Russian agents to try and break things up just then, doesn't it? On the other hand, it would be exactly when some Right Sector fascist might want to toss a bomb and end the parade. Hmmmm?
