Meanwhile, Right Sector seems to be busy performing their understanding of “police duties” in Odessa:

On Thursday, March 19, a roundtable debate was to be held on “Freeport without politics.” [the revival of the Odessa free port zone]. Invited were the People’s Deputy Alexander Presman, nine members of the City Council and a number of community members. However, the planned activities did not happen — about an hour before to the press center on the Garden began arriving activists of Right Sector, Self-Defense of Odessa and Board of Public Safety, which simply blocked the entrance to the building. (…) Seeing that it smelled like a scuffle, the organizers of the round table gave up the event and postponed it indefinitely.
