SHOTLIST:
ASSOCIATED PRESS - AP CLIENTS ONLY
Kyiv, Ukraine - 6 October 2019
1. Wide of Independence square (Maidan), protesters gathered
2. Protesters applauding
3. Protesters listing to speeches
4. SOUNDBITE (Ukrainian) Boryslav Bereza, former Prime Minster:
"(Ukrainian) President (Volodymyr Zelenskiy) does not respond to the questions on the bill (special status for some regions of Donetsk and Luhansk) that he is going to present to the parliament. The president does not talk about amnesty (for Russian proxies). People who are standing behind me say they have voted for him (Zelenskiy), but they dislike the fact that they are not receiving answers to their questions. So, all of us want to know what will be next? What will the president sign in the Normandy meeting? What will be in the reintegration of the occupied territories bill? On December 19th the previous bill will expire. We came here now because we want to hear answers to our questions and not to gather for the next Maidan (referring to another round of protests)."
5. Various top shots of protest
6. SOUNDBITE (Ukrainian) Inna Sovsun, "Holos" party:
"We don't hear about the red lines which negotiators are not supposed to cross, but we know about these red lines and they have to be pronounced by the president. And people came here to know about these red lines. We're here to explain to the authorities that we'll not allow a capitulation (to the Kremlin)."
7. Wide of people with flags
8. Wide of Independence square (Maidan) during protest
9. Various of protesters marching towards presidential office
10. SOUNDBITE (Ukrainian) Oleksandr Paliy, veteran:
"The President is making concessions to (the Russian president) Vladimir Putin. Because the President does not understand how many, and why so many people died. He does not understand Debaltsevo and Illovaysk (battlefields in 2014-2015). He does not want to learn from the mistakes of previous authorities, so he'll get his own taste of "Debaltsevo" and "Illovaysk" with this withdrawal."
11. People shouting (Ukrainian): "No capitulation"
12. SOUNDBITE (Ukrainian) Yehor Kapustynskyi, student:
"This banner (reads in Ukrainian: "No Capitulation") is to express my civic opinion against the latest decision by President Zelenskiy and the Minsk group (negotiators), which is capitulation and betrayal of Ukraine's interests on Donbas. Especially accepting the "Steinmeier Formula" (reference to the former German foreign minister who proposed it in 2016) and planning to section Donbas is a betrayal of our interests."
13. Various of protesters
STORYLINE:
Thousands rallied in the Ukrainian capital on Sunday against the president's plan to hold a local election in the country's rebel-held east, a move seen by some as a major concession to Russia.
Ukraine, Russia and mediators Germany and France on Tuesday signed a tentative agreement with Russia-backed separatists on guidelines for holding a local election in eastern Ukraine, where a five-year conflict between the separatists and Ukrainian troops has killed more than 13,000 people.
Ukraine's newly elected President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has cast the deal as an intermediate step needed to organize a summit with the leaders of Russia, France and Germany to push for a peaceful settlement.
But participants in Sunday's rally denounced the move as a capitulation to Russia, which has backed the separatists.
About 15,000, including veterans of fighting in the east, gathered on the Maidan, the main square in central Kyiv, under placards "Shame!" and "No to capitulation!"
Zelenskiy, a comedian with no previous political experience, was elected by a landslide in April on promises to combat the country's endemic corruption and end the spiraling war in the east.
He remains widely popular, even though his image has been dented by a July 25 phone call in which US President Donald Trump urged the Ukrainian leader to investigate the son of his Democratic rival, former Vice President Joe Biden, a demand that has triggered a US impeachment inquiry.
Zelenskiy strongly defended a plan for an election in the east, vowing that the vote will follow Ukrainian laws and include candidates from Ukrainian political parties.
He emphasized that the election should be preceded by a lasting cease-fire and an exchange of all prisoners.
Last month, Zelenskiy initiated a prisoner exchange in which Ukraine and Russia freed 35 prisoners each — the biggest swap in years.
He is now pushing for a pullback of Ukrainian and separatist forces from the front line to end continuing skirmishes.
The 2015 peace deal provided for such withdrawal to set up a safe buffer zone, but both warring parties have balked at implementing the demand.
It was Zelenskiy's predecessor Petro Poroshenko who signed the 2015 peace agreement that envisaged a sweeping autonomy for the separatist regions in the east and an amnesty for the rebels — a provision that was never implemented because it was resented by many In Ukraine.
The deal, brokered by France and Germany and signed in Minsk, Belarus, also stipulated that Ukraine regains full control of its border with Russia only after the rebel regions receive broad autonomy and elect local leaders and legislatures.
Ukraine and the West say Russia has backed the rebels with troops and weapons and the border has served as a conduit for them.
