KIEV (Reuters) - Protesters pelted the Russian embassy in Kiev with eggs on Saturday and ripped up a Russian flag in protest at what they called Moscow's backing of separatist rebels in east Ukraine, witnesses said.
The crowd of more than 100 mostly young people, many of them with their faces covered, held up banners with slogans such as "Russia go home". The demonstrators then overturned several cars, including some which appeared to belong to the embassy, and damaged the metal gate but police did not intervene.
