Activists gathered in front of Ukraine's Parliament in Kyiv today to demand the suspension of Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk and the establishment of a committee to investigate corruption among government officials.
It was reported that the protesters were mostly members of the opposition party Svoboda, a right-wing nationalist party, who sought the creation of an anti-corruption investigative committee as well as the resignation of the prime minister for the duration of the probe.
The Russian state-owned news agency Sputnik reported that hundreds of protesters gathered, while Svoboda claimed it was 2,000.
Chairman of Parliament Volodymyr Groysman promised today that the possibility of such an investigation would be discussed this week, after a group of independent lawmakers blocked the speaking platform in Parliament.
