From Ukraine's Capital city the riots in Ukraine have spread to nearly half the country, as angry demonstrators hurled firebombs, rocks and fireworks at officers.
Riot police responded with tear gas and several dozen protesters were rushed to a makeshift medical area to be treated.
27-year-old Artur Kapelan one of the protesters said "we will force the authorities to respect us, not they but we will dictate the conditions of a truce".
