About 250 people took part in both of the events to demand Savchenko's release from a Russian jail, an Interfax correspondent reported.
Some of those assembled stayed on after the rally ended, some people started throwing eggs onto the grounds of the consulate, and someone threw a firecracker or a smoke bomb.
