Here is what Reuters is reporting on the apparent parading of Ukrainian prisoners in Donetsk:
DONETSK, Ukraine, Aug 24 (Reuters) -- Pro-Russian separatist rebels force-marched dozens of Ukrainian prisoners of war along a main street of the rebel-held Ukrainian town of Donetsk on Sunday, Reuters eyewitnesses said.
People shouted "fascists" at the group, who walked with heads bowed. They were largely unshaven and dishevelled and dressed either in combat fatigues or civilian clothes.
And here's what AFP has been reporting:
DONETSK, Ukraine, Aug 24, 2014 (AFP) -- Pro-Russian rebels in Ukraine's eastern city of Donetsk paraded dozens of imprisoned government soldiers before a crowd of onlookers on Sunday in a bid to mock Kiev's Independence Day celebrations.
The soldiers, captured in the course of Kiev's offensive against the separatists, were gathered on central Lenin square to heckles and shouts of "Fascists! Fascists!", said AFP correspondents at the scene.
