Around 1,000 people joined a rally outside the Ukrainian parliament building in Kyiv on Thursday demanding the adoption of reform bills, including a lustration bill.
The action, which involves supporters of the Svoboda (Freedom) Party, Civil Position, Volya political party, Right Sector and the AutoMaidan, is hampering traffic along some parts of Hrushevsky Street, an Interfax correspondent has reported.
Some 200 people holding Ukrainian state flags and flags of different parties have now filled Constitution Square outside the Verkhovna Rada building.
