Details: On Friday, protesters in Kyiv once again gathered in the square near the Ivan Franko National Academic Drama Theater. A large banner was displayed there reading "What is your signature worth, Mr President?!"
As calculated by Suspilne, around 150 people joined the protest outside the building of the Dnipro Oblast Military Administration in the city of Dnipro.
The protest in Lviv began at 19:30 near the Shevchenko monument.
According to a Suspilne correspondent, about 300 people took part in the protest. Participants sang the Ukrainian national anthem at the start of the protest.
In Zaporizhzhia, around 50 people joined the protest against the law limiting the powers of NABU and SAPO, as reported by Ukrinform.
Organisers urged participants to refrain from using offensive language on placards and not to chant anything that could be regarded as a provocation.
In Odesa, around 20 people gathered on the city’s main street.
