Armed Group Fires Into the Air in Donetsk

Ukrainians went to the polls on Sunday, May 25, to elect a new president. The vote comes after weeks of tensions in the country, particularly the eastern regions of Donetsk and Luhansk, where voting has been disrupted by pro-Russian groups. Here, several men dressed as troops from the Vostok Battalion, a Russian military unit based in Chechnya, fired rounds into the air in Donetsk. Reporters on the ground said the men were speaking Chechen. Credit: YouTube/Christopher Nunn
