Situation in Ukraine calming down

The Interior Ministry is to stop blocking off roads, the Defence Ministry to withdraw troops involved in the conflict, law enforcement to return to permanent bases

So deputies made the Interior Ministry to immediately stop blocking off all roads in the country and the Defence Ministry to withdraw troops involved in the conflict. The government should provide assistance to families of dead and wounded people.

The opposition proposed to approve a law to release participants in protest actions from criminal persecution and to free ex-premier Yulia Timoshenko. “We should vote for a law to release (participants in protest actions) from criminal persecution. We insist Yulia Timoshenko be freed,” leader of the Batkivshchina faction Arseny Yatsenyuk said.
