Protesters in Kiev Put Up New Barricades

Talks between the government and protesters have stalled

|

Protesters in Ukraine's capital Kiev have been erecting new barricades after crisis talks between the opposition and President Viktor Yanukovych stalled.

Freezing demonstrators at the camp on the city's Independence Square also occupied a government building as a truce with riot police continued.

A stand-off with protesters is under way outside the governor's office in the western city of Ivano-Frankivsk.

The EU's enlargement commissioner, Stefan Fuele, is due to visit Kiev.
