In Kyiv and other cities of Ukraine, protests were held against the adoption of the “Steinmeier formula” - a set of measures to resolve the conflict in Donbass.

The rally in Kiev was the largest, writes Radio Liberty. According to various sources, from one and a half to two thousand people took part in it. Protesters gathered on Maidan (Independence Square) and then moved to the Presidential Office. They shouted slogans, “No surrender,” “No to Putin’s plan.”

Also, rallies against the “Steinmeier formula” were held in Lviv, Odessa, Kharkov, Dnieper and other cities of Ukraine. Several hundred people protested there.

The “Steinmeier Formula” assumes that Ukraine will grant special status to the self-proclaimed republics of Donbass after elections recognized by the OSCE are held on their territory.
The formula was developed in 2015. Previously, the Ukrainian authorities objected to it, but on October 1, President Vladimir Zelensky agreed to accept it. On the same day, the first action against the “Steinmeier formula” took place in Kyiv.
