Ukrainian Police, Protesters Clash at Kyiv City Hall
USPA News -
Ukrainian police have clashed with anti-government protesters at the city hall of Kyiv in an effort to drive the activists from the building. The clash came just hours after hundreds of Ukrainian police began storming a protest encampment in central Kyiv early Wednesday.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry condemned the authorities` response in a strongly worded statement. "The United States expresses its disgust with the decision of Ukrainian authorities to meet the peaceful protest in Kyiv`s Maidan Square with riot police, bulldozers, and batons, rather than with respect for democratic rights and human dignity", Kerry said. "This response is neither acceptable nor does it befit a democracy."
