UKRAINE-YATSENIUK-CAMPAIGN

Kyiv, July 6 (Interfax-Ukraine) – The head of the Council of the Batkivschyna’s United Opposition and leader of the Front for Change party, Arseniy Yatseniuk, has said that the opposition is launching a new nationwide campaign dubbed “Ukraine Against Yanukovych.”

“We announce the launch of the nationwide campaign ‘Ukraine Against Yanukovych.’ The aim of this action is to call early parliamentary and presidential elections,” Yatseniuk said, speaking at a rally outside the Ukrainian House on Friday.

He also said that the assembly point for protesters would be the Ukrainian House.

Yatseniuk also said that should the authorities, in particular Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych, violate the Constitution once again, participants in the campaign will move to Mezhyhirya, Yanukovych’s residence outside Kyiv.
