Some protesters launched stones and Molotov cocktails at police. <br /> <br />Today's clashes follow months of conflict between the Kiev administration and activists over the future of the camp, and which led to buildings being seized in the city centre. <br /> <br />Earlier on Thursday, communal services reportedly confiscated around 20 boxes containing bottles of flammable liquid while dismantling barricades on the square. <br /> <br />Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/Ruptly <br />Twitter: http://twitter.com/Ruptly <br />LiveLeak: http://www.liveleak.com/c/Ruptly <br />Google Plus: http://google.com/+RuptlyTV <br />Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/Ruptly <br />YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/user/RuptlyTV <br />DailyMotion: http://www.dailymotion.com/ruptly <br />Video on Demand: http://www.ruptly.tv
