Whoa, right now people started to add the fuel to the fire like crazy. Don't know what the speaker said, but seems like the party is barely starting.

Ukrainian Ranger - yeah, I thought so. This is the part I DON'T envy you.

-1 enemy APC

It's like some damned surreal dream, Kiev is looking like Damascus

[Sinistar]

Holly shit.

I don't even know what to say.

[Mr. Strange]

You guys sure know how to put up a good party...

Just make sure this isn't all wasted.

[Dutchling]

leipe shit

[Baffler]

There's no way those guys survived that.

And that cheer afterward...

[Sinistar]

Well, some seconds later you can see a group of policemen/troopers a bit away from the burning APC trying to douse out the flames on themselves. And, while burning quite a bit, I'd think APC's armor wasn't breached as there were no actuall explosives involved (probably)? So my guess is they did manage do get out.

[Ukrainian Ranger]

Spoiler: one of the guys who died today (click to show/hide)

Judging by the tattoo he died in a way he dreamed. R.I.P.

[Baffler]

Is that what they were doing? My eyes were elsewhere.

Also, what is the guy giving the speech talking about? It doesn't give me captions.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Yeah, there's no way that would have killed anybody inside the APC, though it certainly immobilized it. Hard to drive with melted tires.

[Mephansteras]

Wow, that's getting intense over there.

Not surprised that the police are siding with the government. Almost all police forces have an us-vs-the people mentality in general. Comes from having the majority of their interactions with the public be negative.  It's an easy mental shift for them to go from looking at people as protesters to looking at them as criminals, and once that happens they're often perfectly fine cracking down with force.

Which is why it's the Military that usually shows which way the winds will blow if things turn into a full-on revolution, as they don't usually have that same mindset.

Well, it certainly not that healthy. Doubt the APC is completely atmospherically sealed and has it's own independent AC system, so things will get pretty hot in there eventually.

[Ukrainian Ranger]

Each and every major Ukrainian TV channel pretends that nothing happens. TV shows, comedies, damned Olympics, music.... Whores. I hope they'll find no jobs in Ukraine after our victory

Wikipedia says that the police of Rivne Oblast defected, so it's not a unanimous thing.

[Sinistar]

So, according to BBC at least 13 people have been killed during clashes today alone.

Police says 6 of policemen were shot.
