I am going to initiate an appeal to the interior minister and the chief of Ukraine’s Security Service urging them to take instant measures to resume law and order in the centre of our capital. I demand that all the seized official buildings be vacated immediately because there is an element of crime in such actions. Police will be given the right to use weapons in case of armed resistance
