Good morning. We are resuming our live blogging of the Ukraine crisis for Monday, September 29, 2014.
We are now closing our live blog on what has ended up being a rather eventful day in Kharkiv. We'll be back tomorrow with all the reaction to the symbolically significant toppling of a Lenin statue in Ukraine's second-largest city. In the meantime, you can keep up with all our ongoing Ukraine coverage here.
RFE/RL's Ukrainian Service has issued this rough footage of the moment the Lenin statue came down in Kharkiv. The actual toppling takes place around the 2:15 mark (natural sound, no subtitles):

The Lenin statue torn down in #Kharkiv was biggest in Ukraine at 20m. Police asked protestors not to do it, but yeah http://t.co/tTyCkQvyPk
