Meggie hunt: frozen Ukraine protest

http://www.cnn.com/video/data/2.0/video/world/2013/12/10/ctw-ukraine-protest-diana-magnay-kiev.cnn.html

Currently in Ukraine protestors totaling to about 4 thousand stand in protest for going on 2 nights now. It's negative 8 degrees at the moment and barricades are in place with fully functioning hot drink stands as well as nutritious soup kitchens. There has been no violence but protestors are determined and are still working on sustaining their position as long as possible.
I think that its really immensely impressive just how organized and well maintained the protests are and how resilient everyone is. I certainly hope that change can be achieved peacefully and without violence. The protestors show no sign of relenting but conditions are quite harsh and while I'm sure that the protestors are full of resources, it is unlikely that they could continue for very long with out suffering from the effects of weather and other factors.
