On January 20, 2014, during the Revolution of Dignity, the confrontation on Maidan continued.
Clashes on Hrushevskoho Street began on January 19, when the traditional Sunday viche [public assembly] grew into a march of protesters to the Verkhovna Rada. The entrance to the government quarter was blocked by the Berkut riot police officers. A serious confrontation began: Euromaidan protesters overturned buses used by police, threw bottles filled with gasoline and cobblestones at Berkut officers. At the same time, six buses and police trucks were burned. Berkut used percussion grenades, rubber bullets and water cannon against the protesters.
Entrepreneurs protests on December 15
Entrepreneurs have been rallying in Kyiv s government quarter since morning. Traffic on Hrushevskoho Street is blocked.
The protesters demand that the Verkhovna Rada consider and pass the proposed bills on simplified taxation for private entrepreneurs. They are also protesting against a possible lockdown.
Background
Representatives of the SaveFOP movement regularly stage protests, demanding simplified taxation without cash registers for private entrepreneurs.
The Verkhovna Rada on December 1 passed bill No. 4439-d postponing until January 1, 2022, the obligation for entrepreneurs working within the simplified taxation system to use cash registers.
Nevertheless, protesters were not satisfied with the bill and they continue rallying, demanding more significant concessions.
