Lawmaker: no chance of Kyiv demonstrators getting violent
An opposition lawmaker on Saturday ruled out the possibility of protesters who were demonstrating on central Kyiv's Independence Square resorting to violence.
"I state officially that the [protest movement] does not plan a single violent act or provocation," former defense minister Anatoliy Hrytsenko, who represents the Batkivschyna party in parliament, told a briefing in Kyiv.
"If any provocations do take place, it is 100% definite they will have been organized by the authorities," he said.
