What's that building in the background?

EDIT: looks like the football stadium.

Hard to tell. Just noticed the car alarm.

i added a link to an article with details in the main post.

the article references maidan square and a couple pictures in the article look like that location, but i haven't managed to find that particular building yet. the article repeatedly refers to a police cordon around "government buildings"

Looks like protests are not concentrated on the Maidan anymore. The're a bit all over the place.

Looks like the Dynamo stadium:

Yep. Initially seems like an odd place for violence to break out, but then again it doesn't. Wouldn't be surprised if those are the instigators. You can see the trademark pyrotechnics as well.

I was watching the stream earlier today and a huge impromptu fireworks show happened. Knew it had to be at that point.
