We will remind that on December 17 in Kiev, clashes broke out between supporters of Saakashvili and the police. Activists tried to break through to the October Palace after summoning Saakashvili to create coordinating staff.

After a failed assault on the Palace, Saakashvili went to the Verkhovna Rada.

The police filed a case on the fact of attempt of capture of the October Palace.
