Saturday 25 January 2014 07.34 Anti-government protesters in the Ukrainian capital Kiev have started a large fire just a few hundreds metres away from the main government building.
Masked men and a few women, many wearing helmets and protective clothing hurled Molotov cocktails and tyres into a burning flame in front of a barricade that was enforced the night before.
The sound of drums and metal bars could be heard over the square and neighbouring streets for hours.
Kiev residents brought hundreds of old car tyres to feed the fire and used human chains to pass them along.
Many of the protesters have spent days in the city center, which is partly controlled by the opposition.
In the past couple of days, protesters have built new barricades using snow and metal bars.
Riot police did not not try to storm the makeshift fortifications, but used sound bombs and water from fire engines to douse the fire.
President Viktor Yanukovich has called for an emergency session of the parliament to end the country's political crisis and violent unrest, in a sign he might be ready to soften his hardline stance.
He has promised to reshuffle the country's government but did not say if Prime Minister Mykola Azarov will keep his post. Dismissal of the government is one of the main conditions made by the opposition.
