Donetsk, the province of Ukraine that declared independence as the Donetsk
People’s Republic on 12th May 2014, has finally adopted the state flag. It’s the
tricolour black, blue, red (2:3), without the coat of arms or lettering.
Parliament adopted the flag on 9 February 2018, and it was approved for
publication by the president the following 28 February.

Three weeks ago, the German TV-News Channel N24 showed a
report from the Donbass Region. It was reported on the life of
the miners workers. During the time of the election campaign the
life of the Russian speaking families improved. The report also
showed pictures of a demonstration for the autonomy of the
Southern Ukraine. In Donetsk, the demonstrators showed the known
"Green and Black"-flag of the miners workers. I have
seen two unknown flags in the report. Can somebody identify these
both flags? Red, Blue and Green ?

Unidentified flag at Ukraine miners demonstration, reported by
Jens Pattke, is identified by
www.vexillologia.ru as
flag of Donshchyna or Donetsk Republic - easternmost part of
Ukraine (Donetsk and Luhansk oblast, maybe also Kharkiv and
southern part of Zaporizhe, so called New Russia), where people
predominantly speak Russian, even ethnic Ukrainians, and support
former president Yanukovych. Flag has three vertical stripes: red
symbolise the fight for freedom (rather nostalgic for communism, I
think), blue is for water of Donets river and Azov sea and black
is for coal, the main resource of regions wealth. I send you
variant of Donshchyna flag with inverted colours, indistinct
shield and incipit "Donetsk republic".

The separatist flag with the double-headed eagle is widely used by
mountaineers, who display it on the top the mountains they
have climbed.
