You're reading: A rally of 300 in Donetsk demands Yanukovych’s resignation

 About 300 people at a popular assembly in Donetsk have passed a resolution demanding that Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych and the government of Prime Minister Mykola Azarov resign.

Participants in the assembly also demand that the Berkut riot police be disbanded for being a “gangster and anti-popular structure.”

The activists also insist that a list of officials liable for “shedding blood on Kyiv’s Independence Square [Maidan Nezalezhnosti]” in Kyiv on November 30 be made public.

The resolution was adopted unanimously, an Interfax-Ukraine correspondent reported.

Representatives from the Batkivschyna, UDAR and Svoboda parties took part in the popular assembly in Donetsk.
