The casualties occurred after protesters set fire to the headquarters of the ruling Party of Regions and as violence roiled the capital for the first time in more than two weeks.
The opposition confirmed five of the deaths -- three near parliament and two near a metro station; the Interior Ministry said a policeman died in an ambulance en route to a hospital.
Earlier, an opposition member of Ukraine's parliament told CNN that three protesters had died and seven others were seriously injured during protests Tuesday in Kiev.
Speaking from the protesters' medical facility outside the parliament building, Olesya Orobets said ambulances had been barred from the area.
The Ukrainian Interior Ministry said that more than 47 people -- at least seven of them police officers -- were hurt in Tuesday's clashes; the protesters' medical service put that figure at more than 150.
The prosecutor general, who said in a statement that at least 100 people had been hurt, blamed the protesters.
"Today we were able to see that only the government is interested in peaceful resolution of the situation," Viktor Pshonka said. "Opposition leaders should take the responsibility for everything happening in the street of Kiev today. It is the opposition who announced a peaceful rally that turned into violent standoff."
He vowed to hold the organizers accountable "for every single person injured, every car burned and every window broken."
In Britain, Foreign Office Minister for Europe David Lidington said in a statement that he was "appalled" by the reports. "This has no place in a European democracy," he said. "I condemn the violence and urge all sides to immediately de-escalate the situation."
