"Kharkiv, near the Russian border, is a hotbed of pro-Russia sentiment and
opposition to the acting Ukrainian government that took power last month
after Russia-friendly President Viktor Yanukovych fled the country in the
wake of months of protests."
"After the skirmish, according to the reports, there was gunfire outside a
building housing the offices of several nationalist groups including Right
Sector, which was one of the drivers of the protests against Yanukovych and
that vehemently opposes Russian influence in Ukraine."
"Russia has denounced Right Sector and similar groups as "fascists" who
allegedly want to oppress ethnic Russians in Ukraine.
