Ukrainian opposition activists who are demanding that the parliament adopt European integration laws are now rallying in front of the Ukrainian parliament buildings.

Some 500 activists of Batkivschyna, UDAR, and Svoboda have now gathered near the Ukrainian parliament, an Interfax-Ukraine correspondent has reported.

Some of the protesters are standing on the motorway, where traffic is now blocked.

The situation at the rally is calm and there are several dozen police officers there.
