Ukrainian activists reclaimed the center of anti-government protests in central Kiev as U.S. and European officials condemned an overnight police raid that left dozens injured and arrested.
Police withdrew from the area around Independence Square today as crowds of protesters rebuilt barricades and tents torn down by security forces last night. Clashes during the raid and a standoff at City Hall, seized by demonstrators 10 days ago, sent 30 people to seek medical aid and fifteen to hospital, including nine policemen, the Kiev government said in an e-mailed statement.
