According to an Interfax-Ukraine reporter, the police officers started pushing the protesters from the main entrance of the building, while the protesters resisted.

Protesters threw plastic bottles into the police officers and chanted "Gang Go Away!" Tear gas might have been sprayed in the crowd, as some people were rubbing their eyes.
