First reported action was in Helsinki, Ukrainian embassy at Kulosaari district was attacked with paint bombs early in the morning of 25th of May. In communique, previously unheard group "Anti-fascists of Helsinki" pointed out to recent flirting of Yuschenko with far-right, but also named four imprisoned Russian anti-fascists for whom this was a solidarity action. Action was well covered in Finnish media as there is not that much direct action, but just few hundred people were into going to anarchist websites to read the full communique and not the distorted image. Second reported action took place in 8 AM in Dnepropetrovsk of Ukraine - a banner "Antifascism is not a crime" was dropped from a bridge. 9 Am it was turn of Kharkov, where banners "Crush fascism at its roots" and "Anti-fascism is not a crime" were dropped at Gagarin bridge.
