Despite truce reached between protesters and anti-riot police, clashes resumed today in Kiev's Independent Square, with up to 100 people killed, according to local media outlet TV Channel 24.

Protesters continue to throw smoke-puff charges and smoke grenades while securing the barricades near the square and preparing stones and fiery bottles as snipers target protesters, say Ukranian media.

Activists equipped several buildings surrounding the downtown Kiev as field kitchens and hospitals, according to the Steve Rosenberg, a BBC reporter at the scene. 

 “The lobby of our Kiev hotel is now a makeshift hospital and morgue: casualties brought here from this morning’s explosion of violence,” Rosenberg tweeted today. 

Arkadiy Gitelson, a 37-year-old sales associate, lives in Kiev and said he is staying away from the downtown area. 

“The entrance in the center is closed. There is shooting in the center of the city only. We have electricity, water, gas and internet,” Gitelson said. “Nobody knows when it all will stop. There was an opportunity to reach an agreement but now there are just dead bodies on the street... a lot of them.”  

Yuliya Bibok, a programmer who lives in Kiev, said the city is on lock down. 

“We can hear the gun shots and smell burned tire across the city,” Bibok said. 

As protests continued in Ukraine's capital, similar clashes started across the country. In Lviv, a city west of Kiev, several man in masks attacked a building of the local district police departments, Security Security Service and Regional Prosecutor's office, News TV Channel 24 reports. 

Yesterday two members of the National Olympic Team of Ukraine refused to participate in the Games in solidarity with protesters, accusing President Viktor Yanukovyc in “the criminal president and his illegal government.”
