Press box in VRU is closed. Guarding is strengthened everywhere

A press box in the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine is closed. Guarding is strengthened in the building of the parliament.

According to an UNIAN correspondent, lawmaker Oleksandr Sochka (the BYUT-Batkivshchyna) said to journalists that allegedly leader of the Party of Regions Oleksandr Yefremov addressed Speaker of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Volodymyr Lytvyn with a letter-request not to allow journalists to get into a press box.

He noted that unblocking of the parliament will probably take place as well as it took place earlier, with using physical force.

It is known that a press conference of Speaker of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine V. Lytvyn is about to be held at 10.15 am.
