The truth about the flammable pro-Russian militias from Odessa who, carelessly handling "Molotov cocktails," set themselves on fire in the "House of Trade Unions," resulting in the deaths of 46 pro-Russian activists in the fire. Once again: it was the Russians who set fire to their own collaborators. (Original: Prawda o łatwopalnych prorosyjskich bojówkach z Odessy które nieostrożnie obchodząc się z "koktajlami Mołotowa" same siebie podpaliły w 'Domu Związkowca" w efekcie czego 46 prorosyjskich aktywistów zginęło w pożarze. Jeszcze raz: to ruscy podpalili swoich własnych kolaborantów) #Odessa #MolotovCocktails #ProRussianMilitias #UA #RU
