Violence has returned to Kiev with new clashes ending a brief truce between the opposition and the government. Protests in the early hours have resulted in over 20 deaths in the city center. Protesters have regained control of the iconic Plaza Independencia, which was lost earlier in the week during confrontations that left 28 dead. Bodies were found near the post office and a hotel, where emergency teams are treating the injured. Since November, Ukraine has been engulfed in protests against the government due to the president's refusal to sign an association agreement with the EU, favoring closer ties with Russia. The short truce was announced with the arrival of European diplomats for a meeting, which was initially canceled for security reasons but later confirmed to be taking place.
