KIEV — About 1,000 nationalists rallied Sunday in central Kiev to demand the ouster of the Ukrainian government, which came to power two years ago after months of protests.

The low turnout reflected public weariness with street protests, rather than support for the beleaguered government, which survived a no-confidence vote in Parliament last week.

The demonstrators set up six tents on Independence Square, known as Maidan, and lit fires in trash bins to symbolize the fires that were kept burning to warm the protesters in the winter of 2014. They clashed with police when they stopped a truck delivering a stage for the evening rally, but no one was hurt.

Others came Sunday to Maidan to place flowers and light candles in memory of those who died during the protests that culminated with the Russia-friendly president fleeing on Feb. 21, 2014. The day before, more than 50 people had died from sniper fire.

Although many Kiev residents are disappointed with the current government, few support another revolution.

“The country needs reforms and a better standard of living, but not new revolutions. We’re tired of them,’’ said businessman Andrei Pogonyailo, 46.

In recent weeks, political tensions have risen and some respected reformers have resigned, citing disenchantment with the government’s cronyism and entrenched corruption. President Petro Poroshenko last week urged Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk, a key figure of the 2014 protests, to resign along with his government. But Yatsenyuk survived a no-confidence vote.
