KIEV, June 14 – Ukrainian acting Foreign Minister Andriy Deshchytsia called Russian President Vladimir Putin a “dickhead” as he tried to calm down a violent protest outside the Russian embassy in Kiev on Saturday.

Protesters rallied on Saturday evening, ripping the Russian flag, overturning vehicles throwing eggs and stones at the embassy amid anger caused by pro-Russian forces shooting down a military transport plane in Luhansk, killing 49 people.
