Separatists prepare assault on Odesa regional state administration, mass media

The pro-Russian activists are preparing to launch an assault on Odesa regional state administration building tomorrow.

This is reported by Interfax with reference to the several different sources.

One of the sources says the activists are going to organize one-thousand rally near the administration and a hundred of participants may begin an assault on the building.

Another source has informed the police won't be able to resist the invaders.

"Police are totally demoralized", the source has added.

It was also emphasized the administration should be attacked by the same people who beat reporters near Odesa regional state administration and provoked the turmoil on May 2.

Police haven't commented this information yet. Since the people, detained after the mass riots on May 2, were set free from the pre-detention center, the Head of the Public Relations Department of the MIA Odesa Office is not available for the comments.

The information about the preparations to the assault is confirmed by the announcements of the different organizations about the rally near administration building.

"We urge all concerned citizens of Odessa to come on May 5, 2014 at 15:00 to the building of regional administrations, at Shevchenko Av. 4 and take part in a peaceful protest, to express a no-confidence motion against the leaders of the regional administration and the regional council. They should resign", the announcement says, circulated by the Chairman of the Civil Council of the Odessa region Tamila Afanasyeva.

We will note the extraordinary session of the Odessa Regional Council is also scheduled for tomorrow.
