A gunman who took a bus with 20 passengers hostage in the city of Lutsk, Ukraine, has posted his demands on social media.

He is demanding that high-ranking officials in Ukraine, including Minister of Internal Affairs Arsen Avakov, former President Petro Poroshenko, the head of the Security Service, and leaders of churches, release a video statement declaring that they are "terrorists under the law."
