Ukraine in an atmosphere of pre-civil war

High voltage environment around the independence square in Kiev. Riot police tried to dislodge the protesters but was greeted with stones and homemade bombs.

After a journey of urban guerrilla warfare, which ends with 14 dead and 200 injured, security forces have managed to bring down the barricades around the State of Dynamo Kiev and moved into the neighborhood, the immediate of the independence square.

Access to the city was restricted to trying to prevent more people can come to reinforce the protests.

From Moscow to Washington via Brussels, Warsaw and Paris, the heads of diplomacy condemned the violence, some fear that the country is on the brink of "civil war".

The leaders of the opposition only urged the President Yanukovych to declare a ceasefire before dawn in order to avoid further bloodshed.

Ukrainian President invited opposition leaders to an emergency meeting tonight. Vitali Klitschko was to meet the head of State but no one expects this initiative to resolve the political crisis.
