Russia played an indirect role in the 2014 Odessa violence by supporting pro-Russian separatists through propaganda, funding, and agents to destabilize Ukraine post-Maidan (SBU, Council of Europe reports). Clashes began when pro-Russian activists attacked a pro-Ukraine rally on May 2, escalating to a fire at Trade Unions House killing XX pro-Russians. Russian media amplified it as a "massacre" to justify Donbas actions, though investigations found mutual violence and police complicity.
