1 min read

Arseniy Yatseniuk, the head of the parliamentary faction of the Batkivschyna party, Vitaliy Klitschko, the leader of the UDAR party, and Oleh Tiahnybok, the leader of the Svoboda association, have arrived in Kyiv's Mykhailivska Square, where supporters of the European integration of Ukraine moved after the dispersal of the Euromaidan.

The number of people on the square is estimated at 5,000 to 7,000.

The parliamentary opposition leaders met with European ambassadors on Saturday.

Yatseniuk told reporters on Mykhailivska Square that some countries have summoned the Ukrainian ambassadors to their foreign ministries for explanations.

"We hope for a clear and tough reaction from the Western community. Ukraine is not Russia. Kyiv is not Minsk," Yatseniuk said.

Yuriy Lutsenko, the leader of the Third Ukrainian Republic movement and former interior minister of Ukraine, is now talking to the people who have come to the square. He has called on the people to come to a rally on December 1 and "block Kyiv" on Monday.
