Currently, several hundred people are present near the stage at
Independence Square. They are listening to speeches made by activists,
musicians and clergymen. Big screens are transmitting news for them, in
particular, on how the events evolved at a Ukrainian Verkhovna Rada
session.

The opposition’s tent camp is living quietly, with everyone busy with their daily affairs, the correspondent said.

It is also quiet in Hrushevskoho Street where barricades were erected
by activists from the Right Sector, Afghan war veterans and other
representatives of the Maidan’s “combat wing.” The several barricades in
Hrushevskoho Street are built of sacks containing snow, wooden and
metal objects, and are quite massive reaching two-three meters in
height.

Loudspeakers are transmitting the audio version of television
channels, with news on the current situation in the country, so as to be
audible to the Interior Ministry’s Internal Troops servicemen and
Berkut special police officers forming a human cordon opposite the
barricades.

The loudspeakers on the law enforcement side are playing music loudly.

There are several hundred people on the barricades in Hrushevskoho
Street. Demonstrators from Independence Square and simple passers-by
approach the barricades periodically to see what is happening there.
