The Donbas conflict has been the leitmotif of a quarrel between Russian and Ukrainian ethnics in front of the U.S. embassy in Chisinau.

The five Russians accused the Americans of involvement in the internal affairs of Ukraine.

The counter-protesters have come in a bigger number, waving flags of Ukraine and the U.S.A. They say Russia is guilty of the war in Ukraine’s east, not the Americans.

The U.S. embassy has said it will come with a response later.
