Scuffles with police as thousands of Ukrainians protest shelving of EU trade deal

Tens of thousands of demonstrators took to the streets of several Ukrainian cities in protest at Kiev’s decision to suspend the EU trade agreement. A major rally for Euro integration with sporadic clashes is taking place in Kiev.

The latest outburst of violence took place after midnight when Kiev police tried to storm the tent camp in the capital’s central square. Protesters locked themselves in a chain preventing police from dismantling the camp. People were throwing rocks and balls of mud at the police and tearing off officers’ helmets, Ria reports.
