After Ukraine’s pro-European protesters took to the streets to denounce the government’s backtracking on the European Union Association Agreement, things went south for both the protesters and the government.
While protesters were beaten up by the police, the government endured a siege of both the Cabinet of Minsters and the president’s offices. The enraged crowd occupied municipal offices of the City of Kiev. Protesters demand resignation of President Viktor Yanukovych and his government and the signing of the treaty with the European Union. Russia’s President Vladimir Putin says it was all orchestrated from the West.
