The European Union has suspended work on a trade agreement with Ukraine after failing to get a "clear commitment" from President Viktor Yanukovych to sign it.
Mr Yanukovych - apparently under pressure from Russia - backed out of signing it in November.
But the Ukraine and the EU had said they would continue negotiating.
Tens of thousands of people are again protesting in Kiev against Mr Yanukovych's failure to sign.
These are the latest in a series of demonstrations by the opposition over the past four weeks.
Sunday's protests are taking place near pro-government rallies, raising fears of possible clashes between the two groups, the BBC's David Stern reports from Kiev.
The series of protests, the largest since Ukraine's 2004 Orange Revolution, are designed to push Mr Yanukovych to dismiss his government and call fresh elections, opposition leaders say.
The EU's frustration at the Ukrainian president's position on reaching a deal with the bloc was evident in a tweet from EU Enlargement Commissioner Stefan Fuele announcing the suspension of talks.
"Work on hold," he tweeted, adding that Ukraine needed to show a "clear commitment to sign".
