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
