The celebration of International Children’s Day in Donetsk ​on June 1​ took on a political dimension when it turned out that​ ​candies delivered ​ ​in the city’s central square​ ​were produced by ​President-elect ​ Petro Poroshenko’s Roshen company.

Donetsk is a hotbed of separatist sentiment in Ukraine’s eastern regions. Several dozen citizens ​ opposed to the government tore the boxes and trampled the candies, shouting “Poroshenko is a fascist.”
