I think they moved 40 minutes away to go refuel, and are now 30 minutes away.
The beating a dead horse jokes are 30 minutes away.
Honestly, looking a bit closer at the opposition parties, I don't know if you'd really want to support them.
One of the leaders is a blatant facist, another is mentally ill. There's the moderate Klitschko, but he gets boo'd out by the right wing movement among the opposition.
And I'm going to tell you this now: A vocal minority such as the right wing extremists is very well capable of stirring up a lot of trouble, or even of taking control. It's happened before in history.
On the other hand, we have the oppressive pro-Russian government. It's another one of these "pick your poison" scenarios isn't it?

Blatant fascist, let me guess, you're refering to Oleh Tyahnybok? He isn't fascist. Besides, Klitschko isn't getting boo'd anymore.

Right, he isn't a Fascist. He's just the complete opposite of a democratic liberal.
[quote]On July 20, 2004, Tyahnybok was expelled from the Our Ukraine parliamentary faction after he made a speech in the Carpathian Mountains at the gravesite of a commander of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army. In the speech, which was aired on television in the summer of 2004, he made comments like:
[quote]"They were not afraid and we should not be afraid. They took their automatic guns on their necks and went into the woods, and fought against the [b]Moskali, Germans, Kikes and other scum[/b] who wanted to take away our Ukrainian state."[/quote][/quote]
Splendid fellow.

Hard to take your serious if you're going to use wiki as your primary source.
Oleh never said "Kikes" in fact he said Jews.
You're also taking things out of context, here let me help you.
[QUOTE]"other scum who wanted to take away our Ukrainian state."[/QUOTE]
If you have knowledge of Ukrainian history you'd know he was refering to the Ukrainian Insurgent army fighting their enemies.

Everything exploded. Nothing more to see.
Livestreams show nothing. I do remember somewhere that on 27 Jan in the evening 2 people were found hanging from trees or something in a link in this topic but I don't remember which one.

A ukrainian friend of mine told me that the casualties have escalated to above 70, can anyone confirm this?
Last time i checked there were around 10 dead and hundreds of injured.
These riots are no longer sexy.
Facepunch awaits the next story of thr month~
Great, they're rallying and the streams already packed it in.
Fun.

If they get too loud he'll just punch them.
HE IS SORT OF THE UNDISPUTED WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD.
Dude they crucified the other guy, bringing fists to a gunfight will always mean you loose.
I doubt this will lead to fascism rising again though, that only came about because of the international market crash, things are bad but they can always get help from the international community or Russia

This will end poorly for the government now that they started resorting to violence.
I was seeing this Ukrainian girl on holiday and she was telling me how she's left the country for good, considering how fucked up it is.
People disappearing and travel becoming impossible with official permits needed for everything.
She kept calling it "the revolution" as well.
this is it, its fucking happening
