Our Ukrainian correspondent Vladimir Sinelnikov with the details.
Right now, a small column of Ukrainian nationalists less than 100 people marched down Sagaydachniy Avenue. They attacked an office of the Russian Sberbank on their way. They were throwing stones and broke the ATM. Afterward, they marched along Podolsky Spusk to the Maidan Square. A small group of nationalists is holding a rally there. They express strong anti-Russian statements The event is conducted under a slogan: "Death to Russia." They trampled and burned a Russia flag.
The police don't interfere. However, several hundred officers are guarding the Russian Alpha-Bank because the nationalists promised to wreck it. Apparently, they are trying to protect the bank from the nationalists.
Besides, several thousand Saakashvili supporters marched today along the main streets: from the Shevchenko Park along Vladimirskaya Street and Kreshatik to the administration building. Right now, they are at Sophia Square They demand Poroshenko's impeachment calling the government "bandits" claiming his cabinet is full of traitors, thieves, wheeler-dealers, and so on and calling for the change of power in Ukraine. They demand Poroshenko resign and Verkhovna Rada to hold special elections.
Besides the attacks on the Russian banks and the building of Rossotrudnichestvo there have been no accidents during today’s rally.
The inaction of the police proves that the authorities have almost no control over the situation in Ukraine and can do nothing about the rallies including the small one held by the nationalists today.
