Svoboda party leader Oleh Tiahnybok has announced that Svovoda activists have seized the building of Kyiv Council and Kyiv City State Administration.

"Our fellows from Svoboda seized the Kyiv Council building just 40 minutes ago," he announced from an improvised stage on Independence Square in Kyiv on Sunday.

"Our temporary headquarters will be located there. We will then move it to Bankova Street [the presidential administration's seat]," he said.
