 Lviv, January 24 (Interfax-Ukraine) - Barricades have been built and a stage has been installed in the square outside the Lviv regional administration's building, which was seized by Lviv residents on Thursday.

Large bags filled with snow and car tires were piled up outside the administration headquarters, halting traffic in the area, an Interfax correspondent said.

People are keeping warm near barrel fires that are burning near the stage.

Protesters are also present inside the building in Lviv’s Vynnychenka Street that houses the Lviv regional council and the regional administration.

Sandwiches and hot tea are being distributed in the hall outside the office of the Lviv regional administration’s head.
