VOICED : Concierto de piano en barricada de Kiev

Ukrainian protesters used various methods to express their dissent, including a piano concert at a barricade in Kiev. The concert featured pieces by Chopin, the Ukrainian national anthem, and Beatles songs, performed on a piano painted with the Ukrainian flag. The event took place at Independence Square, a key protest site, and included performances by Ruslana and other young musicians. Despite initial indifference, riot police responded with Russian pop music. The protests, ongoing for months, oppose the government's decision to favor relations with Russia over an EU agreement. Protesters demand closer ties with Europe, constitutional reforms, and reduced presidential powers. The piano has become a symbol of peaceful resistance.
