The Berkut is now officially out the Urk House, though they left out a side window as going through the offered corridor would have been a shit feast, though they may have their gear still moral must be at a low.

Translation of Viktor Yanukovych's latest speech: >There has been too much violence. Too much pain. But I have an honorable compromise. Just walk away. Give me the whole compound, and I'll spare your lives. Just walk away and we'll give you a safe passageway. Just walk away and there will be an end to the horror.

1 ReplyEdited by NaLo: 1/25/2014 8:42:33 PMI have no idea what they're saying but they're angry as -blam!-! It seams like they didn't accept the president's offer. The amount of [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All-Ukrainian_Union_%22Freedom%22]Svoboda[/url] supporters is worrying.

I hope this gets sorted out soon and some sort of resolution is made. However, I do hope the citizens get what they are wanting; no matter how long that may take.
