"We together with parliamentarians came to Mezhyhirya and were waiting for a half an hour at the cordon of the interior troops who did not let us in. Then they let only me in. I told [the president] about the demands of the people who had been participating in protest rallies on Maidan [Nezalezhnosti, or Independence Square in Kyiv] for two months. Also [I told the president] the political crisis needs to be addressed immediately," Klitschko said.
