KYIV – The leader of Ukraine’s opposition party Batkivshchyna, Arseniy Yatsenyuk, says protesters in Kyiv will not be evacuated from buildings they have occupied, despite all demonstrators who had been detained by the government being released.
“The most important thing was the release of the detainees. We will not evacuate Union Building (Profsayuz), Concert Hall (October Palace), Ukrainian House and the square as well,” said Yatsenyuk.
