Rally holders won't set up tents on Independence Square (Maidan Nezalezhnosti) any more buy will extend the tent camp up to Khreschatyk between Horodetskoho Street and Bohdana Khmelnytskoho Street, as well as near the Kyiv mayor's office, people's deputy and Euromaidan commandant Andriy Parubiy has said.
“There’s no justification for setting up tents on Maidan: there is
already too little space here. That’s why we’ll extend the camp between
the fourth barricade [at Horodetskoho Street] and the far barricade [at
Bohdana Khmelnytskoho Street]. We’ll set up tents outside Kyiv City
State Administration’s building,” he said on the Maidan on Thursday.
He earlier said that protesters could get permission to use
improvised means of self-defense during the next possible assault on the
Euromaidan.
“I can’t guarantee that we could keep it [use of self-defense means]
next time. I absolutely foresee that possibly we could permit the use of
means of effective protection during the next possible assault,”
Parubiy said at the briefing at National Resistance Headquarters on
Thursday.
He reminded that people who protected themselves from police officers
had used flag poles, paint spray, gas masks, and water pumps. They were
prohibited from using them and during the last attack on the Maidan.
