The leader of Ukraine's opposition party Svoboda, Oleh Tiahnybok, has announced that the opposition is starting to form an autonomous government in the country's capital, Kyiv.

"Starting from tomorrow [Friday], we will form an independent administration in Kyiv - Kyiv's self-government," Tiahnybok said at a pro-EU rally in the capital's Independence Square on Thursday.

The demonstrators supported the opposition leader's idea.
