"I repeat and urge those who had occupied the building and their families and relatives, you must immediately free the building and let the regional parliament get to work. We have to take all possible decisions not to stop the solution of all the social and economic issues in the region. As for political issues we will deal with them within the framework of the law and press the authorities in Kyiv the way they deserve and it will be done with the help of those people who came out to the square today."

That weapons must be handed back immediately in order not to threaten the lives of the residents in Donetsk."
