Yesterday's protests near the Verkhovna Rada showed that President Poroshenko should no longer rely on the security forces.

Former SBU speaker and adviser to the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Stanislav Rechinsky writes about this in his blog.
“I think that for Poroshenko, from today, an era of personal fear has begun, which will end only with the end of his political life and, possibly, emigration. Because the most important thing today was how the security forces reacted to the protesters. There was practically no reaction. Everything has changed. Even if there is an order, which I very much doubt, there will be no one willing to stand up for either the chocolate one or someone else. Those “elite dogs” of Yanukovych are no longer there, readys for bonuses and status to beat and kill. BPP deputies should think about their future. The immunity for them ended long ago in fact. However, using the example of Birch, it ended for SF too. Or maybe for the entire deputy corps.”
The ex-speaker of the SBU is confident that the majority of Rada deputies are now better off not walking around without security.
“Today is useful for Poroshenko. Judging by his speech patterns like “my army”, “my plan”, “I, I, I.....” - he has developed a messiah complex. And today will destroy, I hope, this complex. He will remind the “king” that he was actually chosen not out of love or respect, but out of necessity. Because it was necessary to quickly elect someone for full-fledged state status - nothing more. It’s quite a fictitious marriage and there’s no need to fantasize. It’s better to leave on time and quietly,” sums up Rechinsky.
