You're reading: Ukraine ex-minister voices protesters’ conditions for leaving Kyiv buildings and streets

The leader of the Third Ukrainian Republic movement, former Interior Minister Yuriy Lutsenko, has announced Euromaidan protesters' conditions for leaving different buildings and streets that were earlier taken over by them in the country's capital, Kyiv. 

“The negotiating process with the authorities has wrongfully been restricted to the issue of a possible amnesty in exchange for freeing administrative buildings,” Lutsenko was quoted as saying by his movement’s press service on Wednesday.

Protesters will leave the Ukrainian House, the Kyiv city administration buildings and the barricades on Hrushevskoho Street after the country’s parliament passes an amnesty bill, votes in favor of a return to the 2004 Constitution, forms a caretaker government or allows the opposition to form a cabinet, he said.

However, the Trade Unions House and the Khreschatyk Street carriageway will be freed only after a date for Ukraine’s snap presidential elections is announced, Lutsenko said.

“This is how the Maidan protesters understand the negotiating process. But their patience is not endless,” he added.
