Fifty or so athletic men have blocked access to the European Union Delegation's office in the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv.

One of the Delegation office employees told Interfax-Ukraine that the protesters were holding Ukrainian flags, were communicating with each other in Russian and were distributing English-language leaflets demanding that the European Union stop exerting pressure on Ukraine, an Interfax-Ukraine correspondent reported.

EU Delegation press officer David Stulik posted a photograph on his Facebook page that shows protesters blocking access to the Delegation's office.
