Anti-government protests in Kyiv

December 1, in Kyiv, a demonstration of supporters of Ukraine’s signing of the Association Agreement with the European Union was held, which ultimately resulted in the largest in recent history anti-government and anti-presidential protest.

Several hundred thousand people of different ages, social status and political beliefs came to the central part of the Ukrainian capital.

In addition to a peaceful demonstration in the center, several groups of radical opponents of President Yanukovych tried to break through to the presidential administration and made a real battle with the police near Bankova Street.

Opposition leaders who took part in peaceful protests called these radicals “provocateurs”.
