Fighting has erupted in central Kiev after
pro-European protesters marched on the Ukrainian parliament to show support for
a demands for constructional reform being debated today. Clashes broke out at at least three separate locations
in the city centre as marchers converged on parliament at about 11 AM this
morning. Police used stun grenades, tear gas and baton round in a bid to hold
protesters back, while protesters set fire to true barricades and attacked with
stones and fireworks, local media reported. Footage from the city centre showed
activists throwing riot officers out of a police van which was later set on
fire. As fighting escalated the central office of President Viktor Yanukovych’s
Party of the Regions was also set ablaze.
