Thousands have been protesting, demanding that the government join the EU.
Many Ukrainians fear that the government has fallen prey to Russian influence, and worry about losing their independence.
On Friday night, the police moved in and ended the mass protests.
Police attacked with tear gas and beat protesters with batons.
Dozens were injured and dozens more arrested at Independence Square in Kiev, where nearly thirteen thousand had been protesting for a week.
The story was repeated across the country, and in other parts of the capital.
