‘AutoEuroForce’ demands to postpone the introduction of fines and extend the preferential customs clearance period until 2020. The corresponding bill has already been submitted by people’s deputy Yuriy Derevianko.

Protesters blocked Hrushevsky Street and there are serious traffic jams in the center of Kyiv. Initially, the protest took place near the Verkhovna Rada, but now activists have moved to the Cabinet building and set off flares. They also introduced a new demand – not to appoint Viktor Kryvitsky as the head of the customs service.
