An armed standoff in Ukraine’s western Zakarpattia region continued into Sunday morning (July 12) after paramilitary volunteers from the right-wing group ‘Right Sector‘ refused to lay down their weapons after a gun battle with the security group of a local deputy Mykhailo Lano.
Since then, the Right Sector group has called for its members to rally outside the presidential administration office in the Ukrainian capital Kyiv.
Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko had instructed police to disarm and detain the armed men in western Ukraine.
