Edited sentence: On 15 April, the interim government in Kiev announced a counteroffensive to confront the pro-Russian militants, and on 17 April, tensions de-escalated as Russia, the US, and the EU agreed on a roadmap to defuse the Ukraine crisis.On Passover eve, alleged members of the Donetsk Republic, carrying the flag of the Russian Federation, passed out a leaflet to Jews that informed all Jews over the age of 16 that they would have to report to the Commissioner for Nationalities in the Donetsk Regional Administration building and register their property and religion.Pinchas Vishedski, Donetsk city chief rabbi, claimed that the pamphlet was fake and meant to discredit pro-Russian protesters or the Jewish community.Pushilin later denied at a press conference that the DPR had anything to do with the flyer, calling it provocation and a "complete lie".The interim government's regional chairman Denis Pushilin initially confirmed that the flyers were distributed by his organization, but denied any connection to the leaflet's content
