Kyiv, Apr 1.- Ukrainian Interior Minister Arsén Avakov confirmed today that armed elements from the Right Sector fascist party, who established their headquarters in the Dnepr Hotel, had surrendered after a siege by law-enforcement forces.
Avakov wrote at his Facebook page that fascist activists abandoned the hotel unarmed, accompanied by security agents, and headed for one of their camps on the outskirts of the city.
The hotel was surrounded last night by police after a Right Sector member opened fire in Kreschatik street, near Independence Square (Maidan), injuring three people, including the Deputy Chief of the Kyiv administration.
The organization, led by presidential candidate Dmitri Yarosh played a leading role in the violence during anti-government protests which led to the overthrow of President Víktor Yanukóvich.
The fascist organization declared war on the Interior Minister, who it holds responsible for the assassination of Neo-Nazi leader Alexander Muzychko during a special operation carried out against organized crime on March 25.
Putschist authorities in Kyiv ordered an investigation into the circumstances behind the assassination of Muzychko, who Russia says is a terrorist. (Prensa Latina)
