We will remind, earlier Russia declared the people’s Deputy Vladimir parasiuk and three Ukrainians – Vladimir Romantsova, Alexey Bakay and Vladimir Nazarenko on the international wanted list and in absentia arrested them, accusing them of desecration of the flag of the Russian Federation.
Note, March 9, under the Consulate of the Russian Federation in Lviv, as in other cities of Ukraine held rallies demanding the release of Hope Savchenko, which at that time was in a Russian prison. During the rally the activists were pelted the building with eggs and threw the smoke grenade. Parasyuk thus stripped from the guardian the Russian flag, after which the flag was burned.
