Clashes on Maidan

Police & activists clash on Maidan, tires burn anew in central Kiev


Barricades and tents are burning on Kiev’s Maidan square as activists clash with the special police ‘Kiev-1’ fighters, who arrived in the Ukrainian capital’s center.

The clashes started over the communal services trying to dismantle the barricades. That follows months of conflict between the Kiev administration and the activists over what will happen to the camp.

The activists living in the camp are now throwing stones at the police. 

Barricades and tires are burning on the square, the heart of anti-government protest that began last year.


Police were carrying out public order maintenance and the work of communal services, but then the camp caught fire, and the fire brigades are now dealing with the blaze,” the Kiev police press service stated to Interfax Ukraine.

Sources in law enforcement suppose that the camp residents set their tents on fire themselves to prevent the communal service
