According to authorities, many of the pro Russians were found to be carrying IDs from neighboring Moldova.

They are using the incident to once again accuse Russia of meddling with Ukrainian affairs.

In the east, Ukrainian military forces continue their moves against pro Russian separatists, reclaiming several key structures.

Meanwhile, Russia stated that Ukraine's lack of ability to protect it's own people is cause for Russian troops to enter Ukraine and help "protect" the separatists from Ukraine's government.

Ukraine and many other countries have repeatedly said that Russia is behind the turmoil and supporting the separatists.

Russia, has maintained fifty thousand troops, along the border, with Ukraine, since March while they were annexing Crimea.

The presence of the troops has made the Ukrainian government hesitant to act against the separatists, til now.
