Police fired teargas on demonstrators protesting against the government's decision to suspend trade talks with the EU. Ukraine was supposed to sign a trade and cooperation agreement at the EU summit in the Lithuanian capital Vilnius on Friday but the government announced last week it was seeking closer trade ties with Moscow instead. The Kremlin had threatened trade retaliation against Ukraine. On the streets there is anger at what is seen as a u-turn by the government One protester said " I don't represent any political party. I've come of my own free will. I'd like Ukraine to confirm Europe as our partner. "I don't agree with Prime Minister Azarov. He must cancel the decision to suspend the signing of the Association Agreement, otherwise he must resign!" said another. The Ukranian opposition has demanded that talks with the EU are restarted. Boxing champion and opposition leader Vitali Klitschko said:"After negotiations with many influential European politicians we are positive that Europe is still interested in Ukraine's euro-integration. The doors have not been closed yet. However, it depends on us if we will ever be a part of Europe or not. " The Ukranian foreign ministry has confirmed the president will still go to the summit on Friday. Euronews correspondent in Kyiv, Maria Korenyuk, says that despite the rain in Kiev, hundreds of Ukrainians are continuing to protest. They say their rally will continue until November 29, the day when Ukraine's fate will be determined at the Vilnius Summit.

In an unexpected crackdown on those who have now been demonstrating for a fortnight, police, with shields and helmets, entered Independence Square in the heart of the snowbound capital on Tuesday night. Clashes broke out as police tried to detain some of the protesters. On one of the main streets leading into the square, a large group of protesters in hard hats, appointed to protect the demonstrators, held back a separate unit of riot police. The action drew an immediate response from the United States, with John Kerry issuing a statement saying: "The US 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."
