    “In early 2014, there were clashes between rival groups of protesters in the Ukrainian city of Odesa, during the pro-Russian unrest that followed the Ukrainian Revolution.[21][22] The street clashes were between pro-revolution (‘pro-Maidan’) groups and anti-revolution (‘anti-Maidan’), pro-Russian groups. There were far-right elements on both sides.[23] Violence erupted on 2 May, when a ‘United Ukraine’ rally was attacked by pro-Russian separatists. Stones, petrol bombs and gunfire were exchanged. The first shots were by a pro-Russian gunman, who shot dead a pro-Ukraine protester.[24] Another pro-Ukraine activist and four pro-Russia activists were shot dead in the clashes that followed.[25][26][27][28] The pro-Ukraine protesters then moved to dismantle a pro-Russian protest camp in Kulykove Pole, causing some pro-Russian activists to barricade themselves in the nearby Unions House. Shots were fired by both sides, and the pro-Ukraine protesters attempted to storm the building, which caught fire as the two groups threw petrol bombs at each other.[29][30][31]”

      If we wanted western disinfo we’d have gone to Wikipedia ourselves, not all of us like to keep our knowledge as surface level as possible.

      This is the type of information that I would not search for in English Wikipedia, that has a pro-Western and pro-Ukrainian bias.
