KIEV, Ukraine — A brief truce in Ukraine’s embattled capital failed Thursday, spiraling into fierce clashes between police and anti-government protesters that left at least 22 people dead. Government snipers were reported to be shooting at some of the protesters in Kiev.

At least 50 people have died this week in clashes in Kiev, a sharp reversal in a months-long crisis that had shown tentative steps toward compromise just days earlier.
