Social dynamic I mentioned. Old & young passing rocks to throw at Berkyt #euromaidan
Ukrainian president Yanukovich has been battling the opposition-led street protests since he walked away from a trade pact with the European Union in November and opted instead for forging closer economic ties with Russia, Ukraine's Soviet-era master. The protests have since broadened into a revolt against perceived sleaze and corruption in the Yanukovich leadership.
Ukrainian media report that the speaker of Ukraine’s parliament, the Verkhovna Rada, Vladimir Rybak suffered hypertensive crisis during today's session. An ambulance arrived in the country’s parliament. Medical personnel are examining Rybak as all activity was temporary suspended.
As tension remains high in Kiev, protesters managed to occupy the top of a building used by police to throw stunt grenades to protesters as shown in a video uploaded this morning.
·Klitchko: "Take the Berkut and interior forces off the street"Inside parliament, where opposition leaders brought proceedings to a halt by blocking the speaker's tribune, opposition leader Vitaly Klitschko urged Yanukovich to take riot police off the streets to avert further "conflict in society". "I am appealing to the president. Take the Berkut (riot police) and interior forces off the streets. Do this and it will provide a way out. It will be the decision of a real man," the boxer-turned-politician told reporters inside parliament. "We are not talking any more about hours but about minutes." (Reuters)
