Pro-Russian rally commences near Odesa regional administration building

ODESA. March 3 (Interfax) - About 200 people are rallying near the Odesa regional administration's building under the Russian flag.

Youth Unity leader and rally supervisor Anton Davydchenko insisted that he must speak at the special session of the Odesa Regional Council and his supporters must be admitted to the Council's room. Yet Odesa Regional Council Chairman Mykola Tyndyuk refused to grant his demand.

The protesters tried to force their way inside the building but their attempt failed.
