Ukraine – Protests in Kiev

Protest organizers and pro-government groups have called for separate rallies of hundreds of thousands of people in downtown Kiev Friday, December 13, through Sunday, December 15. Protesters continue to occupy Independence square and adjacent buildings. The possibility exists for further clashes between police and protesters or between different groups of demonstrators. The situation is fluid and the location and nature of the demonstrations may change without notice. Demonstrations are also likely in other cities throughout Ukraine.
