KIEV — Clashes broke out near the Ukrainian Parliament in Kiev on Saturday, after police began removing a camp that was set up outside the government buildings last year to protest corruption.

As heavy snow fell on the makeshift site, protesters burned tires and scuffles broke out with police, who had moved in to dismantle the camp, which has been there for months.

More than 100 protesters were detained.

Nearly all were later released, but Kiev police reported that about 20 people, including seven police officers, were injured in the confrontation.
