Odessa clashes was Russian and pro-Russian gangs attacking an unarmed Ukrainian football fan march with firearms.

They then retreated to the House of Unions where pro-Russian opposition was based. Basically taking them as hostages.

The house was set on fire and multiple people died a horrific death.

While immensely tragic, don’t “both sides” this and spread Russian propaganda. The skirmishes were all captured on long live streams.

Afterwards Russian TV used it to further spread anti-Ukrainian hatred.

You seriously need to read the wikipedia article about this mass-murder.

How the Ukrainian government conducted the investigation is quite telling.
