KYIV, Nov 12 – Members of the All-Ukrainian Agrarian Council and the political parties National Corps, Svoboda, and Right Sector staged a protest near the Ukrainian parliament on Tuesday against the adoption of a bill on forming an agricultural land market in the country.

Several hundred people have gathered on Constitution Square, denouncing the creation of an agricultural land market in Ukraine as an attempt by the authorities to sell Ukrainian land to tycoons and transnational corporations. Activists have parked about 15 items of farming machinery in front of the parliament building.
