The tension is still running high in Ukraine

Without violence or incidents, the Ukrainian riot police dismantled, during the afternoon of Monday, the barricades that protesters had hoisted on the eve on the Avenue leading to the seat of Government.

The activists, who a week ago block access to the building, were forced to move to the tours â€" to allow circulation, explains the authorities. A police officer says: "we are here to maintain public order, peacefully, as seen, without provocations. We're only doing our job. "

During the morning, the President Viktor Ianukovich announced himself available to sit at the table with the opposition, which demands his resignation, after refusing to sign the association agreement with the European Union.

Also Monday, masked gunmen carried out a ' raid ' on party headquarters of Iulia Timoshenko, the leader of the opposition, currently detained.

Computer servers were seized and the party site was offline at the end of the day.

The party accuses the police, which denies any involvement.

The Maidan Square in Kiev, epicenter of the defence, was still filled with protesters prepared for another night of protests.
