Chairman of the Sevastopol city council, Valeriy Saratov, during the a picket of the Business and Culture Center where Oleh Tiahnybok, a right wing politician running for the Ukrainian presidency, had a meeting with voters, called on residents not to react to provocation from Tiahnybok’s supporters.
"The visit of the leader of the [all-Ukrainian] Freedom [association] is unwelcome, as Sevastopol’s citizens highly appreciate human rights, respect for each other, and "we can only regret that some Sevastopol residents reacted to the provocation."
