"I'll see you on December 10. At noon Kyiv time, let's meet in the Shevchenko Park and move towards the Maidan!" Saakashvili wrote on Facebook.

As UNIAN reported earlier, the Ukrainian security forces on December 6 attempted to storm Saakashvili supporters' tent camp in Kyiv's Mariyinsky Park, which is close to the Verkhovna Rada's building. There were about a hundred law enforcers.

Protesters began to defend themselves, using firecrackers. The police resorted to tear gas and piled the fence. In response, people began to beat them with wooden and metal bars, and the law enforcers had to retreat.
