15,000 people expected to gather for rally in front of Ukraine Rada

The Party of Regions plans to invite 5,000 people, while the opposition - 10,000. These data are already being partially confirmed. A total of 3,000 people are already in front of the parliament building, while another column is approaching the building from the River Terminal. The first clashes between protesters and police were already recorded. Law enforcers are trying to stop them at approaches to the parliament where the place is already crowded.

The parliament building is encircled by dozens of blue tents with the emblem of the Party of Regions, put up close to one another. The "tent settlement" of the Yulia Timoshenko bloc and other opposition parties is located close by, in the Mariinsky Park. Reinforced police squads and commandoes are stationed near the parliament.

A large group of deputies from the Party of Regions remained from Monday inside the session hall. One of them told Itar-Tass by phone that deputies guard not only the rostrum, but also the voting control system and the power control board to prevent switching off electricity at the session hall; Kazinform cites Itar-Tass.
