Head of the Ukrainian Interior Ministry department for Kyiv Valeriy Koriak has asked Interior Minister Vitaliy Zakharchenko to consider his resignation at a Sunday meeting of the ministry's board.

After the board meeting Zakharchenko said that Koriak was suspended until an internal probe is completed.

Valeriy Mazan, who heads the Kyiv region police, was appointed acting chief of the Kyiv police.

The reshuffle followed the use of force in dispersing the Euromaidan on November 30.
