Over five thousand people gathered Saturday morning in central Kiev to protest out-of-control utilities prices.

Walking up Khreshchatyk Street, one of the capital’s central thoroughfares, protesters carried a variety of slogans, most of them focused on the drastic rise in utilities prices.

Along with Ukrainian flags, protesters also carried a number of posters and banners. Among them was a poster stating that Prime Minister “Yatsenyuk means poverty for Ukraine.” Another read “Don’t know how to work? Go work as a salesman for Roshen,” referring to President Petro Poroshenko’s chocolate empire. Another poster featured the phrase ‘Mafia go AWAY’. One protester carried a caricature of a man in a barren apartment preparing to hang himself with a loop made out of a hot water pipe.
