Svoboda Party MP Ruslan Koshulynsky has said that the building of the Verkhovna Rada should not be separated from the people by a fence.

“We realize what we’re doing today,” he said on Wednesday after Svoboda deputies tore down a fence around the parliament.

Koshulynsky said that if the fence were replaced, Svoboda would demolish it again.

“Is it hard for us to cut it again? It’s not hard for us to do that,” he said.

An Interfax-Ukraine reporter said that security measures at the parliament building had been tightened.
