KIEV, April 12 (Reuters) - The regional police chief of the east Ukrainian city of Donetsk said on Saturday he was quitting his post, bowing to demands from pro-Russian protesters.
Above the police headquarters, the Ukrainian flag was no longer flying, and was replaced with a separatist flag, according to a Reuters witness.
"In accordance with your demands I am stepping down," police chief Kostyantyn Pozhydayev told protesters. (Reporting by Lina Kushch in Donetsk and Pavel Polityuk in Kiev; Writing by Alessandra Prentice; Editing by Christian Lowe)
