Svoboda Party leader Oleh Tiahnybok has stated that the government was planning to cut off electricity before an attack on the Euromaidan rally in central Kyiv.

"Kyivenergo employees told us that the government wants to completely cut off electricity, including here [at the House of Trade Unions], in order to prevent us from making return moves," he said at the House of Trade Unions on Monday.

"But we are preparing to use alternative ways to continue the existence of our camp," the politician said.
