Several dozen people took part in a protest in downtown Sydney Sunday against action by the Ukrainian military in the country's east. The action was organized by Russian and Ukrainian descendants now living in Australia.

"People are tired of hatred," said one of the organizers, "We issued an appeal to Russians and Ukrainians living in Sydney with a proposal, namely, let's forget the things that divide us, let's get together on a platform that unites us because we all speak against war".

The self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic is planning to carry out tests to prove that the Ukrainian government forces used prohibited weapons in Semyonovka.

"The video evidence of phosphorous bombs being used in Semyonovka is not a signal either to Europe, or America, or international organizations. Nothing convinces them, so we had to take soil from Semyonovka and bring it to Donetsk where it is currently being tested," DPR Supreme Council Chairman Denis Pushilin told a press conference in Moscow on Friday.

He said the test results will show whether chemical weapons were used.
