Ukraine: Thousands rally in Kiev calling on Poroshenko to resign

 

Thousands of people flocked to central Kiev, Sunday, to demand the resignation of Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko.

The demonstrators marched from Shevchenkos Park to Mikhailovsky Square, decrying the deportation of former Odessa Governor Mikhail Saakashvili and calling for Poroshenko’s resignation.

Saakashvili addressed his supporters through a live broadcast, reportedly speaking from Amsterdam.

Similar protests took place in Lviv and Kharkiv.
