Police say they identified instigators of clashes

 The Interior Ministry said they identified at some of the instigators of clashes that took place in front of the president's administration and other government buildings, the ministry said in a statement.

“Unlawful actions in front of the Cabinet building were organized with an active participation of about 100 citizens, whose actions were coordinated by a citizen named Andriy Feshchuk,” the police said in the statement.

Andriy Feshchuk, an activist of Ukrainian Democratic Alliance for Reform (UDAR), however, denied accusations in a telephone interview with Hromadske.tv. He said he spent his day on Maidan Nezalezhnosti, where crowds of several hundred thousand rallied.

“I don't know where they get this absurd information,” says Feshchuk. “They are just trying to find someone to blame for today's provocations” to justify the violent actions that will follow.

The police said they also identified over 300 radical youths, members of Bratstvo organization, who acted under the guidance of Dmytro Korchynskiy. He could not be reached for comment immediately.

The police also said that the attack on the City Hall was “accompanied” by Ihor Myroshnychenko, a Svoboda parliament member.

Yuriy Syrotiuk, the spokesman for Svoboda party, said that the accusation was absurd.

“A people's deputy has access to any building, regardless of form of ownership. Aa deputy cannot attack anything -apriori. A legitimate session of the Kyiv community is taking place in the city hall at the moment, in the absence of legitimate mayor and legitimate city council,” he said.

Svoboda earlier had claimed that they took over two government buildings, the City Hall and the Trade Unions building. They still remain under control of the protesters.
