“We announce the launch of the nationwide campaign ‘Ukraine Against
Yanukovych.’ The aim of this action is to call early parliamentary and
presidential elections,” Yatseniuk said, speaking at a rally outside the
Ukrainian House on Friday.

He also said that the assembly point for protesters would be the Ukrainian House.

Yatseniuk also said that should the authorities, in particular
Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych, violate the Constitution once
again, participants in the campaign will move to Mezhyhirya,
Yanukovych’s residence outside Kyiv.
