Kiev: Riot police deployed near protest sites
Dec 09, Kiev, Ukraine – Dozens of riot police in full gear have moved into the center of the Ukrainan capital where opposition activists have been occupying a city administration building and a central square.
President Viktor Yanukovych has faced weeks of protests after shelving a treaty with the European Union last month to focus on ties with Moscow. A rally on Sunday drew hundreds of thousands of protesters calling for Yanukovych’s ouster.
The government has been demanding that the protests disperse and threatened harsh measures.
