FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Pro- Russia protesters in the eastern Ukrainian town of Slavyansk call on Russian peacekeepers for the protection of civilians following recent gunbattle.
Vyacheslav Ponomaryov, the Slavyansk’s residents appointed mayor, told reporters that he has asked Russia’s President Valdimir Putin to consider the possibility of deploying Russian peacekeepers to defend the people from the National Guard.
During an emergency press conference held after Saturday’s gunbattle, Ponomaryov said that only Russia was capable of protecting the people in the region.
He also announced that the town was under curfew from midnight (2100 GMT) to 6:00 am (0300 GMT).
The referred gunbattle took place as an armed group in four cars attacked a barricade set up by pro-Russian protesters outside the city of Slavyansk, killing three people and seriously injuring another one. Two attackers were also killed in the gun battle.
Earlier on the day the Russian Foreign Ministry issued a statement expressing severe anger towards the Saturday gun battle that left five people dead, saying Ukraine must fulfill the commitments it agreed upon this week in Geneva.
This is while several cities and towns including Slavyansk are still under the control of pro-Russian forces.
Pro-Russia protests gained momentum in the eastern parts of Ukraine after Crimea declared independence from the former Soviet state and formally applied to become part of the Russian Federation following a referendum on March 16, in which almost 97 percent of the participants voted for rejoining Russia, with a turnout of over 83 percent.
