The sirens are of a hospital. I saw the ambulances there earlier during daylight. People get sick and have emergencies not necessarily connected with any political presence.
In reading some of the news and information in the media there is underlying fear this struggle will continue forever. That has to stop. Inflammatory rhetoric is not nearly appropriate.

That kind of fear promotes long lived resistance. The Ukrainian fears are deep seated and will only resolve in time. This won't go on forever, but, stating they are wrong in their assertions in public speech will not resolve anything.

Elections and the opportunity to be elected needs to be fair and the former Prime Minister needs to be safe in her person from here forward.

I would expect citizens of Ukraine to be angry with the former President Yanukovych, but, they should not act against him.

The statues of Lenin are left over from the time the Ukraine was "Soviet Ukraine" and a vital part of the Soviet Union.
