Ukrainian Interior Minister Vitaliy Zakharchenko has urged Ukrainians not to get dragged into massive unrest because if such unrest occurs the police will have to duly respond.

"I would not want the public to be dragged into these developments…What? Massive unrest? The police won't help reacting to it. What a bloody war? Do we want to go as far as Libya, as Tunisia? If calls are made to massive unrest, we will react," he said at a Sunday session of the Ukrainian Interior Ministry board.
