Riot police and angry demonstrators fought each other in front of government buildings as one group tried to break into the Cabinet of Ministers offices.
The protest was the biggest Ukraine has seen since the 2004 Orange Revolution.
Pro-EU supporters want Ukraine's President Viktor Yanukovich to sign the trade pact with the European Union as agreed, during a summit in Lithuania on Friday.
His decision to pullout due to pressure from Moscow has been roundly condemned by Ukraine's top opposition figures.
Protesters have set up a tent city in the capital vowing to stay there until they get their way.
