Now from 150,000 to 200,000 people have gathered on the Maidan Nezalezhnosti (Independence Square). People started to arrive from the regions. In the Khreschatyk Street up to the Independence Square the “Pora” activists have put up about 150 tents and made two tent camps. The first starts from the crossroads at the Proriznaya Street, and stretched till the Passage. People are determined to stand in the Independence Square until the authorities admit the elections fraud and recognize the victory of democratic candidate Viktor Yushchenko. The rally at Maidan goes on. The Ukrainians are ready to defend their choice.




Wooden barriers are placed in front of the two tent camps. The tents are guarded from all sides by young people who are not letting in the unknown. No policemen are seen by the tent camps.











As said by the “Pora” activists, they are to stand till the end, until the acting authorities recognize Viktor Yushchenko’s victory.










The “Pora” has not planned the exact number of the tents. “We are to erect as many tents as many people would come,” told the organization’s activists.

About 4 p.m. field-kitchen arrived. They are catering protesters with hot meals. A truck also brought packages with warm knitted hats, sweaters, mittens, laser pointers and gas-masks for people who are staying in the tents.








According to the ruling of Shevchenko’s court, the traffic way in the Khreschatyk Street would be blocked until Monday midnight.

Further fate of the tent camp is to depend on the decision of the same court.









Meanwhile, people are resolved to wait until the authorities admit the elections fraud and recognize the victory of democratic candidate Viktor Yushchenko.
