Depending on where you get your news from, you may or may not be fully aware of the dramatic and ongoing situation in Ukraine and Russia’s annexation of Crimea. Things are far from settled in that part of the world, and as you can see in the following videos, with so much tension in the air, it doesn’t take a whole lot for people to explode.

A group of cars bearing Russian and what appear to be Soviet flags were stopped and attacked by an angry mob while driving through the Ukrianian city of Melitopol, which is also known as “the gateway to the Crimea” as it’s situated northeast of the peninsula. It is unclear if anyone was injured in these attacks.

As we learned, pro-Russian demonstrators staged several rallies in the region.

If you’re from the area and have more details on what’s going on there, do tell in the comments.
