Fire, smoke, explosions and shots right now on the Maidan.
Our correspondent Stanislav Feshenko is now in the epicenter of the confrontation.
Fortunately we already have a direct connection with the Maidan, Stanislav what is happening?
around you? Tell me what is the situation?
Good evening, or bad, on the Maidan is very alarming. Here are tens of thousands of people,
they were herded towards Instytutska Street and Grushevskogo Street
when Berkut and internal forces used water jets.
They managed to overcome both barricades that has been built by protesters on the Instytutska street.
Berkut and internal forces manage to reach the bridge that stands right on Maidan,
from where, for a while, Berkut threw stun grenades and shot rubber bullets.
The fact that people have no way to leave because another barricade that leads from
European square to Khreschatyk street is also surrounded by Berkut .
The metro, as we already said, is closed. So there is no way out of Maidan.
On the stage, the political leaders are begging Berkut not to harm their own people.
Presently Berkut has stopped, we can see that there is no one on the bridge, they moved
just two steps back, but do not depart completely.
At this moment resonates the sound of shots and grenades.
A few minutes ago, a Molotov cocktail, or something flammable has been thrown at the Monument of Independence.
Right now, you can see a small fire, in this moment situation is very alarming.
From the stage, speakers are guiding Boyovi sotni ("battle hundreds" group of person in charge of protecting Maidan)
to the European square and Institutska street, so they can protect people and do not allowed Berkut to come into Maidan.
The situation is very alarming, because again - tens of thousands of people here
and everyone are fearing Berkut next move - will they attack?
Studio. Thank you, it was Stas Feshenko exposing the lock down of Euromaidan by repression force.
