KIEV, March 20 – Entrepreneurs from the Kiev-based Lukyanivsky market have asked for protection against illegal seizures.

"Raiders from Kvitkova Haliavyna Ltd. aren't letting us work calmly – they're threatening us by saying: "get out of here, take your stuff away, we want to come and change the management." They don't tell us what they want to do, they just want to seize it," Chairman of the initiative group for the protection of Lukyanivsky Market Denys Khomenko said at a press conference hosted by Interfax-Ukraine on Tuesday.
