Several thousand protesters gather near Verkhovna Rada

Several thousand protesters have already gathered near the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine.

According to an UNIAN correspondent, big columns of adherents of the European integration are coming from Maidan Nezhalezhnosti.

The blocking of the parliament, where a plenary sitting should take place, has started since early morning.  People are chanting slogans, but nobody tries to arrange scuffles with militia.

Militia employees surrounded the building of the parliament from all sides.

Some adherents of current power are also near the Verkhovna Rada, they are about to carry out their own measures.
