Kyiv police release all 35 detained for resistance at Maidan Nezalezhnosti



The 35 people who were detained by police at a pro-European rally at Maidan Nezalezhnosti (Independence Square) in the center of Kyiv have been released after administrative reports were drawn up on them, the Ukrainian Interior Ministry said in a statement.

"The law enforcement arrived at Independence Square after they received a report from the Kyiv State City Administration's public utilities department. 'Berkut' [special police task force] started acting after the demonstrators resisted police and pelt them with trash, glasses, bottles with water, and burning sticks. As a result, 35 people were detained. Administrative reports have been drawn up on them, and they have been released," it said.
