STORY HIGHLIGHTS
(CNN) -- Ukraine released 67 people Sunday who were detained for participating in violent clashes after pro-Russian protesters stormed the police headquarters in Odessa, demanding they be let go.
"Based on the decision taken by Odessa's regional prosecutor's office and due to the demands of the protesters, 67 people previously detained for participating in mass disturbances on May 2nd in Odessa were released Sunday," said a statement on the Ukrainian Interior Ministry's website.
The local prosecutor's office immediately denied it was involved in the decision.
The choice to release the detainees, it said in a Sunday statement, was made by police after officers failed to fulfill their duties. The prosecutor's office said it has opened a criminal investigation into their actions.
Earlier, hundreds of pro-Russian activists shouting, "Odessa is a Russian city, one for all and all for one," attacked the police headquarters, forcing open its gate and breaking windows as they called for the release of their detained comrades. In a tense scene filled with arguments -- but with no shots fired -- the separatists took down the Ukrainian flag and persuaded the officers to release the detainees, according to a CNN team on the ground.
The crowd cheered as the detainees left the police compound, and many were embraced by friends and relatives.
Elsewhere in Odessa, hundreds of pro-Ukrainian supporters marched to a trade union building where a fire had previously broken out. They held a memorial there.
The protesters demanded an explanation for why the pro-Russian detainees were released. A pro-Ukrainian demonstrator replaced a Russian flag on the union building with a Ukrainian one. There were no reports of violence.

Ukraine releases protesters in Odessa
MANILA, Philippines - For San Mig Coffee coach Tim Cone, a knockout game is a knockout game, so the safest thing to do is to put Air21 away in Game Four of their PBA Commissioners Cup best-of-five semifinal matchup tonight at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
The San Mig Coffee Mixers, the leagues most dominant team the last three years, try to finish off the embattled Air21 Express and set up a dream title rematch with the Talk n Text Tropang Texters.
No doubt, wed like to finish this in four games. We certainly dont want to go to a winner-take-all game, said Cone.
At this point, were in control and we dont want to give that up. That would happen if we go to a Game Five, Cone also said.
The Mixers seem to have all figured out how to deal with the Express. Cone and his troops go for the kill in Game Four set at 8 p.m.
After blowing away Game One, 100-103, the Mixers came back methodically in the next two games, fashioning out an 82-75 victory Thursday then repeating with an 84-73 conquest Saturday.
Still, Cone said they would take on Air21 in Game Four with much caution.
Air21 has pulled surprises all conference long. We need to be on guard, Cone said.
Technically, the Mixers arent expected to change their approach, being so successful in playing tough defense in Games Two or Three where they held the Express to back-to-back conference-low outputs.
Every game is different. But oftentimes, you keep the same approach. Thats what were gonna do. Well try to come out, defend, get to the board and try to make their life miserable defending us, Cone said.
