Kharkiv MPs are calling for militias to be formed, apparently. (Paging the Army?) But police in one of the biggest eastern cities have joined the protestors.

Army has promised neutrality. Lavrov is denouncing the opposition and demanding that the EU use their influence to implement the agreement.

Parliament speaker (who's also Acting President): Yanukovych tried to flee to Russia but is now in his hometown of Donetsk. His former interior minister was also given an ultimatum by Belarus to quit the country by 1800 local.

Ahkmetov stressed the need for a "strong, independent and united Ukraine." So if Yanukovych is planning some sort of secessionist gambit, his top oligarchic ally won't support it.

Speaking of that, no idea what'll happen there. Will rump POR present a candidate? Will the party leaders change their earlier agreement to all run in the jungle? That presumed a runoff with Yanukovych or now, whoever from POR might take his place.

Rada will vote for a PM tomorrow. Meanwhile journalists are combing through Yanukovych's residence, gathering all the documents he left behind.

Helps to be outside when the presidential election comes, given the "hell" (Yatsenyuk) that's sure to come their way for the next 3 months.
