Meanwhile, in Kyiv (from RFE/RL's Ukrainian Service):
Groups ranging from right-wing nationalists to football hooligans marched in the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, on February 25 to protest against government policies.
Several hundred people, some in military uniforms, marched through the streets as police and members of the National Guard stood along the road.
National Guard members reportedly searched some of the protesters for weapons before allowing the march to proceed.
Earlier in the day, a group of some 400 people demonstrated outside the National Bank and called for the resignation of its governor, Valeriya Gontareva, and her deputy, Oleksandr Pinchuk.
Prosecutors are investigating possible abuse of office by some officials at the National Bank but have not named Gontareva or Pinchuk as suspects.
There was also a strike at the Kyiv's Borispol Airport where demonstrators recently demanded that fired employees be rehired.
