KYIV. Jan 22 (Interfax) - The Kyiv city police department denies that law enforcement officers used firearms during the protests on Hrushevsky Street in the center of Kyiv.
"The police didn't use firearms," the department told Interfax on Wednesday.
The Ukrainian Prosecutor General's Office confirmed earlier on Wednesday that at least two people died from gunshot wounds during the protests. The circumstances of these deaths have yet to be determined.
Earlier reports from Kyiv indicated that the law enforcement used tear gas, flash bang grenades, and rubber bullets against the protesters on Hrushevsky Street.
