Opposition leader Arseniy Yatseniuk, Vitally Klitschko, and Oleh Tiahnybok are trying to enter the building of the Cabinet of Ministers to attend a government session.

The opposition leaders have made speeches at a protest rally near the Cabinet building, saying they will do everything to attend the government session and demand the resignation of the government and call for the European integration of Ukraine.

The opposition activists also said they intend to go to Vilnius to take part in the upcoming Eastern Partnership summit in Vilnius and ask the European Union "to keep its doors open to Ukraine."

After that, the opposition leaders tried to enter the Cabinet building, but were not admitted.
