Parliament just had a couple of big votes followed by cheers, applause, and the Ukrainian anthem.

Not sure what the votes were on though, my feed kept dropping out on me.

Ah... Found it...

Parliament of Ukraine adopted Resolution that demands all military and police troops leave Kyiv to their ordinary place of service and stop using weapons against citizens.

And also order for IF to leave Kiev and release all arrested

Looking for confirmation.

Yep, that’s what they voted on. Basically, they’ve voted to neutralize Yanukovych.

I’m listening to Ukrainian TV (I can understand quite a bit of it) and they’re saying that the Rada has basically gone into rebellion against Yanukovych.

They’re armed. Not to the extent the government is, but they’re shooting back. There are photos on the net.

Wow. I saw that on another thread. Talk about a recruiting poster for the orthodox priesthood!

This is a screenshot taken a month or so ago. Temps were well into the negative ranges

Stationed half way between the Berkut and the Protestors.

In which case they’ve decided they don’t want to join him on the scaffold.

Wise move.

Another great photo. And from an eastern perspective, that is exactly where they should be.

Yes, I know they have some arms (probably hunting rifles) and some have captured police weapons as well.

I’m sure they’ve saved a lot of lives. Just standing there tends to cool things down.

I am still awaiting what the “Secretary Of State” has to say about his/her 35 or so deaths in the Ukraine.
