The demonstrators were holding Russian flags, as well as the unofficial separatist flags of eastern Ukraine. They placed flowers outside the embassy.

The participants also held poster in Russian and English, with such slogans as "Eurocrats – Stop Your Killers in Ukraine" written on them, thus expressing the point of view that Europe, not Russia, is responsible for the bloodshed in the country.

After some more yelling, the demonstrators moved on to the German Embassy in Riga.

The LUR urges all who are ''against the military operation by the unconstitutional Ukrainian government'' to participate in the rally, as well as those who do not support ''the intervention of the West and the European Commission'' in the Ukraine crisis.
