The speaker of the DUC assured that the radicals do not want to escalate the situation, but all the militants of the "Right sector" left the positions in the zone of military operation in the Donetsk region and are now at their bases in full combat readiness.

The militants of the "Right sector" hiding near the town of Mukachevo, Transcarpathian region, received the order to open fire if attacked, reported the correspondent of TV channel "Inter" from location.
"The "Right sector" again showed its bandit face in Mukachevo. Kiev does not want to break with the neo-Nazis. Trying to put a lid on it. Soon it will be too late" - Konstantin Dolgov, Russian Foreign Ministry Commissioner for human rights, democracy and the rule of law.

Previously, a PM and advisor to the President of Ukraine for humanitarian affairs, Olga Bogomolets voiced the demands of the supporters of the "Right sector", who are protesting near the presidential administration:
"To lay down parliamentary mandate and thus stop legalizing the authorities; to dissolve the coalition; to adopt a law on impeachment of the President; to remove parliamentary immunity; to declare early elections (parliament); not to accept changes to the Constitution".
On Sunday, the group threatened to bring 17 battalions to Kiev.
"In Transcarpathia for 20 years contraband is covered up by the police, for the year of Avakov's post, the situation there has not changed. It also has not changed in the country as a whole. Lustration wasn't completed, corruption is blooming. We do not intend to stand peacefully, we will communicate with the authorities differently, harshly" - Artem Skoropadsky, press secretary of the "Right sector"
[Besides a russophobic agenda and its de facto function as an extrajudicial muscle for business disputes in today's Ukraine, where a weapon grants authority, and its key role as the engine of Maidan, the "Right Sector" presents itself as an agent of change for social justice, with slogans appealing to many rightfully disgruntled Ukrainian citizens, which is why many of them supported Maidan - KR]

On July 11 in the town of Mukachevo (Transcarpathian region of Ukraine) the militants "Right sector" attacked a cafe at a sports club, owned by local MP Mikhail Lagno, as well as traffic police patrol post.

In the attacks and ensuing skirmishes of extremists with law enforcement there were killed and wounded. "Right sector" reported the death of two fighters. Surviving militants refused to surrender and were blocked, the representatives of the anti-terrorist center of the SBU were negotiating with them.
