Bondin said his wife, who is currently in Ukraine, told him that men from their home town are trying to block the main road between Lviv and Kiev to prevent police from going to Kiev to deal with the protesters there. Bondin said some police in Western Ukraine, which was the first town to support the Ukrainian nationalist movement during the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1990, are starting to side with the protesters.
