Far-Right Ukrainian Group Stages Smoky Protest In Kyiv

May 20, 2016 With smoke bombs and drum, some 3,000 members of Ukraine’s nationalist Azov Civilian Corps marched through the capital Kyiv. In a show of force, members of the far-right group lit flares outside the parliament building. It was a warning to the Government against making any potential deal that would lead to election in separatists’ controlled territory of Eastern Ukraine.

The protesters also called for Ukraine’s borders to be fully restored. They warned that would be more protests  outside the parliament building if the government failed to heed their warnings.
