The protesters, discontent with the government and the president for their handling of the Donbass conflict in the east of the country, tried to break into Zelensky's heavily guarded office while throwing firecrackers and spraying gas at the police. The radicals also burned tyres and threw stones.
Streets adjacent to the government building in downtown Kiev are patrolled by police and National Guard.
