Some serious scuffles between "right-wingers" and law enforcement as they busted into the general prosecutor's office in Kiev/Kyiv. I found nothing of this in any other press except in the Ukrainian press itself.  Some of the motives of the protesters did not sound like the best.

Reportedly, activists of Ukraine's far-right political forces tried to attack the building of Prosecutor General's Office in Kyiv. The disorder was caused by the decision of the Ukrainian authority to extradite Timur Tumgoev, the Ingush national and the Russian citizen.

Russia is saying this guy was in ISIS.  So, perhaps a lot to the story. As said, there is really no coverage of this except in places like 112.
