Pro-Russian Militia Occupy Checkpoint Outside Sloviansk

Armed men restricted access to and from Sloviansk, in east Ukraine, on April 12, setting up a checkpoint 25 miles outside the city along the E40 highway, according to the journalist Graham Phillips, who recorded this video. A Russian flag is seen fixed to the checkpoint, set-up hours after armed and masked men, believed to be pro-Russian militia, seized control of the city’s police headquarters early on the morning of April 12.
