Pro-European Union demonstrators who were holding a rally on Kyiv's Independence Square on Tuesday split up with some of them staying on the square and the rest setting off for the building of the president's office, an Interfax-Ukraine correspondent reported from the scene.

The march to the president's office, which brought together hundreds, followed an appeal from Oleksandr Turchynov, coordinator of the National Resistance Committee. The marchers were going to demand the resignation of the government and early parliamentary elections.
