| Russian special forces have reportedly been deployed in the Ukrainian capital Kiev as thousands of demonstrators besieged government buildings to protest the results of the presidential election. A 1000-strong contingent of Russian special forces have put on Ukraine uniforms upon their arrival in Ukraine, said Boris Tarasyuk, chairman of Ukraine's parliamentary European integration commission and an envoy of the Ukrainian opposition's presidential candidate Viktor Yushtchenko. In an interview for Bulgarian private TV channel bTV Tarasyuk said the soldiers are armed with machine guns, which speaks of their "serious intentions". Tarasyuk, who was invited to visit Bulgaria by the right-wing opposition the Union of Democratic Forces, is expected to land in Sofia in the middle of the day on Friday. |
