Weapons convoy headed to Kiev? [View all]

A convoy of protesters in cars is currently traveling from Lvov to Kiev to join protesters on Independence Square. Lvov is where a group of protesters seized a Ukrainian army arms depot earlier today. The convoy is reported to already have, "Passed Zhytomyr, which is just under a two-hour drive from the Ukrainian capital."

If you think this situation is bad now, be advised: It may get a whole lot worse real soon.
