The casualties occurred after protesters set fire to the headquarters of the ruling Party of Regions and as violence roiled the capital for the first time in more than two weeks.
The opposition confirmed
five of the deaths — three near parliament and two near a metro
station; the Interior Ministry said a policeman died in an ambulance en
route to a hospital.
Earlier, an opposition
member of Ukraine’s parliament told CNN that three protesters had died
and seven others were seriously injured during protests Tuesday in Kiev.
