00:06 Activists have marched on the Verkhovna Rada, demanding that the central government take action to quell the uprisings that have spread throughout much of eastern Ukraine since April 6. The protesters are calling for the resignation of Interior Minister Arsen Avakov. Protesters in Kyiv and elsewhere have expressed frustration at the government’s reluctance to send troops to eastern Ukraine to combat the separatist movements that are devouring large areas of the country. - KyivPost
I find it kind of weird that Ukraine appointed an academic in what appears to be the field of sociology to the position of Interior Minister which, in Europe, typically is in charge of keeping public order and has under his thumb, both police and paramilitary forces. For instance, the revolt in Chechnya was put down, in large part, by Russia's Interior Ministry. A lot of Interior Ministers are ex-cop or ex-military. Appointing a scribbler to a position that requires a doer in a time of undeclared war by Russia is just mind-boggling.
