What's going on here? The Spanish government arrested eight men who were supporting the Ukrainian Freedom Fighters with the excuse that they worked against the interests of Spain abroad. No one was arrested who supported the fascists, so where is the pressure coming from?

Earlier on Friday, the Spanish Interior Ministrys spokesman told Sputnik that police had arrested eight Spanish citizens who took part in the Ukrainian conflict. The ministry spokesman said that all the detainees were fighting "on the same side", however he could not confirm nor specify whether they fought alongside Kiev forces or independence supporters. The Committee's representative called what happened this morning a manifestation of double standards since no Spanish citizens who fought alongside Kiev were arrested.
