Pryvit!

Now that Euronews is referring to it as the Orange Revolution I guess it's legitimate!

It is incredibly overwhelming to witness the scene in the center now. Words can not describe the quantity of people amassed. Ok, I'll try anyway…khreshchatyk is packed from bessarabka to maydan and past maydan to European square and up both sides of hrushevskoho. Institutska is closed and also mobbed with people. Horodetskoho is also packed with people. It's like a giant festive celebration. Cars honking, flags waving, groups chanting…truly an adrenaline rush. People from the regions keep arriving and arriving. The crowds are psyched, festive, and organized.

On thing that's impressive is how Kyiv, as a city, is rallying around supporting the infrastructure of supplying maydan. Two of the attached photos (food supply 1 & 2) show women that cooked in their homes and brought meals, in bags, to share with the public. They literally put their bags on the ground and start asking people if anyone is hungry. There is also a bonfire shot. What's interesting is that the wood that's in the bonfire is supplied by people bring wood in shopping bags from homes outside the city to maydan by people taking metros etc.

Yush's speech this evening (after the kuchma, yanukovich roundtable) came across as truly authentic and real. Really great speech. In one part he described coming home at 11:00pm and seeing his three daughter 5,4, and 3 years old. And just when he felt tired and fed up with politics, the girls start walking in a row (youngest first) chanting: "Nas Bahato. Nas ne Pololaty!"

Although the results of the meetins was

New chants of the day:

"Shche ne Zmerzla Ukraina!" and

"Nam Donetsk ne Vorohy, Prykhodit na Pirohy"

I hope the zabava went well, waiting to see pictures of NYC rally.

Hats off to the Ukie people!! Thanks for you work in USA!!!
