Ukraine: Checkpoints set up by pro-Russia activists in Donetsk

Pro-Russian activists set up checkpoints throughout areas of eastern Ukraine on Saturday, including in the Donetsk region and on roads leading into Slaviansk from Donetsk and Lugansk.

Men wearing civilian and camouflage clothing checked passing vehicles before letting them pass by barricades made mostly of tyres.
