Militants who seized buildings in Donetsk several days ago, were waiving official flags of Belarus.

Red-green flags were later placed on barricades, by which separatists surrounded the regional administration. Users of social networks stress that these are not flags of the Belarusian Soviet Socialist Republic, but official symbols which was established in Belarus after the referendum of 1995. Earlier charter97.org website had written about possible participation of our country’s citizens in pro-Russian rallies and riots in eastern Ukraine.
