The harsh response of law enforcement officers shocked the radicals, who demanded in Kyiv today to completely block relations with the republics of Donbass and trying to set up a tent city under the windows of the Poroshenko administration building.

“Today the authorities have shown that we are cattle and slaves and are unworthy to be called Ukrainians. Place in cages and stalls. Bravo Avakov and dad [short for the full name of President Poroshenko]. “It’s a shame if the word honor is forgotten, if honor is slandered before our eyes” V. S. Vysotsky. Now you can put on the Muscovite yoke, they will endure everything,” Ivan Bobov commented on the situation on the social network, whose profile says “priest of the UOC-KP.”
In turn, Verkhovna Rada deputy, ex-Donbass battalion commander Semyon Semenchenko claims that the new Ukrainian police have become worse than Berkut.
“Kokhanivsky was arrested and taken to the Shevchenko police station, Bessarabskaya Square, 3. They tried to force him and several other OUN members to their knees before arrest. Several wounded. One Maidan activist, 38 hundred, had his head broken, and he just came to the anniversary of the Maidan. Yegor Sobolev was beaten. This is not the Ukrainian police. It's not even Berkut anymore. This is the DPR police. These scoundrels also turned on “plive kacha” in the square. We stay on the Maidan with the people. Those who can come now, those who cannot – tomorrow at 19-00. I’ll get in touch later,” writes Semenchenko.
Member of the Ukrainian parliament Egor Sobolev confirms that he was beaten by the police.
“The meeting was dispersed, the tent was torn to pieces. A brilliant victory for the new police together with the National Guard. I have a little blood - this is the result of hours of fruitless negotiations with people who seemed to be in Ukrainian uniform, they saw me, they saw the ID of a people’s deputy, they understood that they do not have the right to block not only me, but all people, first on Instytutska, then on Grushevsky, then on Khreshchatyk, but they blocked it every time,” complains the Maidan people’s deputy, a former active participant in the coup d’etat.
