Ukrainian Roma are claiming armed, masked men threatened and robbed several of the 150 Roma families in Sloviansk. "They began shooting here, at the windows," said Natasha Cheripovskaya as she pointed to her house with shattered windows. "They were in masks, about 15 people. And they had automatic weapons. Some had guns. They started to shoot to provoke fear. They asked for money and gold. We were very scared and said, 'We don't have any gold or money.' Even the neighbors saw this but they are afraid to speak out."
