Jostling with police units preceded the seizure of Regional State Administration in Kharkiv. Special Forces have first tried to hold the crowd back, but then just went sideways. What demonstrators will do later on whether the officials will be let into the building, knows Grygoriy Pyrlyk.

Back in the day the building of Kharkiv Regional Administration looked impregnable. Near the main entrance there stood the rows of police officers. How strong their defense was became clear at 9 PM, when pro-Russian activists began the assault.

Initially, the policemen held back the onslaught, but in a couple of minutes storm troopers began to wade through the boundaries. Thus, the police just went aside. Just after the pro-Russian youths entered RSA, they have hung the tricolor from the window.

The police have not event tried to use force or detain anyone. The participants of the assault claim they had no with the law enforcement agencies.
- There is quite a lot of us. While the policemen -- not so much. If you count the windows in the RSA, you will realize it is impossible to block all of them.

Subsequently the participants of the assault brought water and sandwiches to the regional administration. They say -- they are not going to leave the building until the government fulfills their requirements.

- We want Russian language to be equal on the legislative level to Ukrainian. Plus, we want the opportunity to come here and control our governors and any administrators.

They have promised to let in the employees of the regional administration who will arrive in the morning, although it is still to be decided whether the Head of the RSA Igor Baluta will get into his office.

There is controversy in the ranks of those who has occupied the building: some are ready for the dialogue with the governor, while the others -- insist on his resignation.
