The police have detained eight aggressive people following April 28 clashes between participants in a rally for Ukraine's unity and pro-Russian demonstrators in Donetsk, eastern Ukraine, a Donetsk region police spokesman said on Tuesday.

After their rally was over, about 1,000 pro-Ukrainian supporters moved toward the Donetsk City shopping center, he said.

“At an intersection of Artem and Panfilov Streets they were attacked
by pro-Russian activists who arrived from the Donetsk regional
administration building,” he said.

During the clashes 14 people were injured on both sides. Of them, four were hospitalized.
