border crossing into Poland over 600 kilometres from Kyiv
Tyres
and fallen trees have been spread across the road by what is estimated to be
200 residents from the local village denying access across the border into
Poland. They say they are determined to stay until their demands are met.
“The
Berkut – the riot police should withdraw from the streets. Yanukovych should
resign and the changes to our constitution should be introduced. Those are our
demands. We will stay here until they are met,” explained on protester.
In
cities across the west of the country there are reports of more violence. In
Khmelnitsky media sources say a woman was killed when security forces opened
fire on protesters.
It
reportedly happened when demonstrators stormed the regional offices of the
Ukrainian Security Service. It’s understood the building is now on fire after
the crowd threw Molotov cocktails.
They
had demanded the gunmen, who it’s claimed were inside the building, show
themselves but they got no response to their request. Two people were injured
in the shooting. Local police said no-one was killed in the incident
