"Friends, right now a constituent assembly of the Public Council at KSCA is taking place. Skinheads pretending to be journalists (from Pylypyshyn), those who were at 223 district attacked deputy Eduard Leoniv and the public. It is in essence a seizure of the Public Council! Please support the public and discourage the raiders. Whoever can please come to the Main Post Office and go inside to the 7th floor!" wrote the activist.

Later, he also said that an "an enormous fight" broke out in the Main Post Office.

"Activists of Adelaja sect, and people from the Party of Regions youth organization have blocked the scene, gave the new ballots to their people and are revoting. We need physical help!" called Aronets.

In her turn, journalist Yelena Bilozerska wrote: "There is a fight at the Kyiv Post Office. Yesterday, according to Svoboda's Valentyn Luneiko, a legitimate election of the Public Council at the KCSA was held, and now the authorities have decided to hold one more illegitimate election, having filled the room with thugs. Activists are forced to fight the thugs and Berkut policemen of which there are many. They broke in and took over the 7th floor of the Post Office (I think the first one, too.) Deputies Ilenko and Leonov participated in the fight and are probably hurt."
