Speaking today Mr Lidington said:
I was very concerned to hear reports of police violence being used to break up a peaceful demonstration in Kyiv in the early hours of this morning. I am aware that further demonstrations are planned this weekend.
I urge the Ukrainian authorities to respect the right of peaceful protest and to investigate thoroughly why police violence was used today.
