In the afternoon of November 3, in Khreshchatyk (the main street of Kiev - Ed) tires and smoke bombs were burning. Protesters blocked the traffic, and the police were trying to push them back from the roadway.

There protested several hundreds of clients of the bankrupt «Mikhaylovsky» bank. They blocked the roadway near the National Bank on the Institutskaya St, and then went down to the Independence Square (Maidan), where they blocked the traffic in Khreshchatyk.

The police tried to push back the protesters, many of whom were elderly, on the sidewalk in order to unlock the movement, which resulted in clashes between the law enforcements and the protesters. At least one of the protesters was detained. There is no information about victims of the clashes.
