Today, on December 20, the mass rally on the occasion of the International Human Solidarity Day has begun. Separatist media report that column of more than five thousand of people began to move from Krupskaya library. It moved through the central Artema street to amphitheater on Pushkin boulevard where meeting will take place.

The rally is traditionally propagandistic as for ‘republics’. It participants perform with right appeals – to stop the war in Donbass. But they blame Ukraine in all troubles, which ostensibly doesn’t comply with the Minsk Agreements. Citizens launched banners with inscriptions ‘For Peace!’, ‘For solidarity with Donbass opinion’, ‘For friendship and peace’ etc…

The movement of transport in the center of Donetsk is limited.

The International Human Solidarity Day was proclaimed by United Nations General Assembly in 2005 and annually celebrated on December 20.
