Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said the protests showed 'not the best side of our character'
— Ukraine’s effort to quarantine more than 70 people evacuated from China over the new virus outbreak plunged into chaos Thursday as local residents opposing the move hurled stones at the evacuees and engaged in violent clashes with police.
Protesters hurled stones at the buses and shattered a window in one of them, but the evacuees appeared unhurt. Avakov urged the protesters “not to fall for provocations and be understanding of the necessity for these temporary measures.”Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky weighed in, saying the protests showed “not the best side of our character.” He tried to reassure people that the quarantined evacuees wouldn’t pose any danger to local residents.
