"In the past 24 hours, the Kyiv Shevchenko district department registered 17 complaints about illegal actions by protesters. People are complaining that they can't walk on the Maidan [Nezalezhnosti, or Independence Square in Kyiv's central part] and Khreschatyk Street normally," the report says.
The police said cases of the infliction of bodily injuries, robbery, and theft have also been registered.
