At least 60 police officers and their hired help are being held in the state energy company near Kyiv City Hall. Some said they were captured while sleeping this morning at Ukrainian House, while others were captured by protesters during the violent clashes by October Palace. Many of the men were only 18 or 19 year old, were not trained and were armed only with rubber truncheons. Others were trained police officers. Many had not eaten in 24 hours. Some had minor injuries but were beating treated by medics in the building. Their fate is unknown and depends, according to the captors, on the outcome of negotiations between anti-government EuroMaidan demonstrators and the government.

“The declaration of oppositional leaders about the need of truce and return to dialog turned out to be a maneuvre to play for time and mobilize and arm the militants on Maidan,” the president said through his administration's statement.
But the opposition's account of events is very different, saying the government's snipers attacked and continue shooting randomly with live ammunition from advantage points, particularly Ukraina hotel that overlooks Maidan. Another sniper was reported in operation close to St.Michael's Cathedral, which was turned into a hospital two days ago.
Most of the fatal injuries are reported to be from sniper shots, often in the neck.

Protesters were in a truculent mood despite the overnight lull and columns of men, bearing clubs and chanting patriotic songs headed to Independence Square at 8:30 a.m. (0630 GMT).
"What truce? There is no truce! It is simply war ahead of us! They are provoking us. They throw grenades at us. Burn our homes. We have been here for three months and during that time nothing burned," said 23-year-old Petro Maksimchuk.
"These are not people. They are killers. Sanctions will not help. They all should be sent into isolation in Siberia."
Serhiy, a 55-year-old from the western city of Lviv who declined to give his surname, added: "It is bad that Ukraine is already broken into two parts. In the west the police and army are with us but in the east, they are against us.
"It is the 'Yanukovichers' who are dividing us."
