Protesters vacate Kyiv city administration building
Euromaidan activists have vacated the building of Kyiv City State Administration (KCSA) on Sunday morning.
An Interfax-Ukraine correspondent reports that the transfer deed for the building was signed on Sunday by KCSA commandant Ruslan Andreiko and Swiss ambassador Christian Schoenenberger.
KCSA head Volodymyr Makeyenko did not sign the act but entered the building.
"No material or moral claims will be filed against anyone. There is no damage. These are premises belonging to the city of Kyiv. And it was Kyivans, citizens of Ukraine who were here," Makeyenko said later.
He said he would get down to work immediately. He said he did not have keys to his office but "that is no problem."
He said that all employees would start working in the building as of Monday.
Asked where the money would come for the repairs of premises in the administration building Makeyenko said that it would be done at the expense of sponsors.
"Everything at the expense of companies, sponsors. We have them lining up already," he said.
On December 1, 2013, participants in opposition actions in Kyiv burst into the building of the city administration and occupied it along with the Trade Union House. The then head of KCSA Oleksandr Popov said that he witnessed the takeover. "Illegal actions were conducted and the building was seized by force," he said adding that a criminal case was launched in relation to the seizure.
