Led by Ukrainian far-right groups, the protesters took the square in front of Ukrainian Parliament in a rally against endemic corruption in the government in Kiev.
The protesters demand establishment of a special parliamentary commission to investigate the corruption schemes in which they think the prime minister and his allies are involved.
The protest was triggered by the recent scandal around Prime-minister Arseniy Yatsenuk. The head of the state financial inspection Igor Gordienko accused him of covering up corruption schemes. The head of the government however, dismissed the charges.
The disaffection with the government is also swelling among the Ukrainian MPs. They agreed on establishing a monitoring commission tasked with investigating all cases of corruption.
Ukrainian Government has been rocked by a spate of graft scandals since it came into power. Although the country has declared a war on corruption, the international experts slam it as the most corrupted country in Europe.
