Ukraine’s police, however, said that the city center cannot fit more than 100,000 people. “Considering that 1 square meter in winter period (when winter clothes are used) can fit only 2 persons, the aforementioned territory where civil and political actions are happening today, physically can fit only about 100,000 people,” the police said in its Dec. 8 statement on Facebook page.
