Armoured carriers in Kiev streets (video)
Bloody clashes between the police and protesters have started in Kiev streets today. There are victims on both sides.
The Verkhova Rda was supposed to meet in Kiev on February 18. However, a few thousand oppositionists approached the building in the morning. Radicals assaulted the building which resulted in clashes with the riot police: tear gas and flash-bang grenades were used. MPs were blocked inside the building. The protesters did not demand anything – they only urged President Victor Yanukovich to appoint an early presidential election.
