Hi.
Going back and forth between maydan and our apt. Crowd continues to grow. Khreschatyk filling up as well as maydan. Including on the other side of institutska, the hill is covered with people. Channel 5 back on air.
Yush demanding meeting with VR 16:00
General made appeal for military to go over to yush.
Yush person made speech that Berkut and M.Interior have agreed to come over to Yush. (I can't confirm this anywhere else.)
Tymosh gave incredible speech. "Now is the time to decide whether we have a desire to raise our children and grandchildren in a free country… …get warm clothes and tents, because we are not leaving until we have defended our choice and our freedom". Moroz spoke. Okean Elzy lead guy, and others. The chant: "Svobodu ne Spynyty".
Zero military or police presence. Probably undercover. Many sighting of army and police on side streets and outskirts. Danyo, saw buses of young people in black unmarked leather jackets parked near his house, on his over here.

Later,

Petro

More photos from maydan. Logarithmic increase in people from 14:00-17:00. Institutska is now closed.

Students (PORA) took control of khreschatyk block by block right now stopping at B. Khmel. Street (Tsum Intersection).

Many more tents have been erected in the afternoon between maydan and prorizna. A wooden framework for a barricade has been erected at the prorizna intersection.

Many TV crews setting up. Any TV coverage in the west?

At one point around 15:00 the crowd marched down khres. To the mayor's administration. Omelchenko came out and stated that he is behind the people of kyiv who voted 75% for Yush. And the Kyiv City Administration is not accepting the voting results of the CEC. Omelchenko support is key.

There was some cheering… and the crowd went back to Maydan. Massive movement of people.

Now everyone waiting to see what the result of the meeting with the VR is. On the stage they announced that if the VR is with Yush, Yush will speak. If the VR is against Yush, the crowd will be asked to move up to the VR.

You will see on the photos that the camping out on Khresch. And maydan is a planned and financed event. Supplies were being trucked in all day. Oranges were being stocked up.

Yush about to come out on stage…more later
