The next time you hear on the propaganda box (a derogatory Russian term for TV) about "radicals armed with firearms," remember this video and the list of those killed. What "radicals and extremists"? They were ordinary people, working men. The madness of Yanukovych, gunning down his own people in order to protect the stolen fortunes of his dear sons, who became billionaires during his presidency, has now become obvious even to his own party allies. The mayor of Kyiv announced that he was leaving the Party of Regions:
http://youtu.be/GyFTO2gDoQA A group of deputies from the Party of Regions declared their "support for the Ukrainian people": They condemned the escalation of the armed confrontation in Kyiv, called for an end to the violence, and urged negotiations with the participation of international observers from the EU, Russia, and the United States. The lawmakers also appealed to members of the security forces to "honor their oath to the people of Ukraine," rather than carry out "criminal orders involving the use of firearms." The authors of the statement called for an emergency session of the Verkhovna Rada (Ukraine's parliament) "to restore the parliamentary-presidential form of government." A change in Ukraine's system of government as part of constitutional reform, it should be noted, is one of the opposition's demands. http://lenta.ru/news/2014/02/20/mps/ Yanukovych must immediately call early elections, and the Rada must begin constitutional reform.
