KYIV. Feb 20 (Interfax) - Pro-European opposition activists on Wednesday took control of the buildings of the central post office and the National Council for Television and Radio in the center of Kyiv, and were organizing them as their headquarters in their confrontation with Ukraine's government.
An Interfax correspondent reported from the scene that food, disposable plates, drugs, medicine and various other things were being carried into the two buildings.
Parliament deputy Stepan Kubiv, a member of the Batkivshchyna (Fatherland) party, was appointed as superintendent of the National Council building. Until then he had been superintendent of Trade Union House.
Kubiv said the National Council's top officials had given their consent to the activists to use the building, and that the rooms inside had been locked and sealed.
The post office building had guards at its doors who had been posted by the opposition leadership and were strictly controlling entry into it.
