The day before Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky and the leaders of France, Germany and Russia will meet to negotiate peace under the Normandy Four format, several thousand people attended a rally at central Independence Square, or Maidan, to demand adherence to what they call “Red Lines” for the Dec. 9 summit.

The rally was organized by a wide swath of political parties including the European Solidarity party of former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, Yulia Tymoshenko’s Batkivshchyna party, Voice party founded by the rock star Svyatoslav Vakarchuk and the far-right Svoboda party.
