乌克兰警察在基辅市政厅与反政府抗议者发生冲突，警察试图将活动人士赶出市政厅。
来自乌克兰首都的报道说，抗议者们进行反击，用灭火水龙攻击挥动警棍的警察。
在爆发冲突的几小时前，数百名乌克兰警察星期三凌晨开始冲击基辅市中心的一个抗议者营地，与反政府示威者发生冲突，并拉倒他们搭建的临时住所。
美国国务院发表声明，对乌克兰当局出动推土机和配备警棍的防暴警察压制抗议者的举动表示“厌恶”。美国国务卿克里说，乌克兰当局应当尊重民主权利和人类尊严。
星期二，欧盟外交政策负责人阿什顿与美国助理国务卿纽兰德在基辅会见乌克兰政府高层官员以及反对派领导人，力图化解这场危机。
Ukrainian police have clashed with anti-government protesters at Kyiv's city hall in an effort to drive the activists from the building.
Reports from the Ukrainian capital say the protesters fought back by spraying water from fire hoses at the baton-wielding police.
The clash came just hours after hundreds of Ukrainian police began storming a protest encampment in central Kyiv early Wednesday, clashing with the demonstrators and ripping down their makeshift tent city.
The U.S. State Department issued a statement expressing "disgust" with the actions of Ukrainian authorities for introducing bulldozers and riot police armed with batons to the scene, rather than, in the words of Secretary of State John Kerry, "respect for democratic rights and human dignity."
On Tuesday, European Union foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton and U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland met in the capital with senior government and opposition leaders in a push to ease the crisis.
