Ukrainian Police and National Corps Party Members Clash Outside Zelensky's Office in Kiev - Videos

KIEV (Sputnik) - Ukrainian law enforcement officers and members of the political party National Corps (based on the Azov Battalion*) clashed on Saturday outside President Volodymyr Zelensky's office in Kiev, a Sputnik correspondent reported.

The protesters, discontent with the government and the president for their handling of the Donbass conflict in the east of the country, tried to break into Zelensky's heavily guarded office while throwing firecrackers and spraying gas at the police. The radicals also burned tyres and threw stones.
