Several cities in western Ukraine have declared general mobilization. On the evening on Tuesday, 18 February, convoys of buses and cars filled with people are departing from Lviv and Ternopil to reinforce the self-defense units in Kyiv, reports Radio Svoboda. Volunteers are signing up, compelled by events in central Kyiv, where clashes between Maidan activists and security forces are taking place.
