KIEV, February 18 (RIA Novosti) – Anti-government protesters and police engaged in violent street battles that left hundreds injured and at least six dead, including two police officers, in Ukraine’s capital on Tuesday.
Fighting escalated in Kiev as a standoff played out inside parliament, where deputies faced off over changes to the constitution that the opposition has said could be a way out of the political paralysis gripping the country.
Thousands of radical demonstrators moving toward the parliament building around midday – many of them wielding shields and sticks, and wearing masks – were confronted by police who deployed rubber bullets, stun grenades and tear gas. Pictures from the front lines showed rioters ripping up cobblestones to hurl at police.

Putin is in favor of the latter.
Praying for the people of Ukraine. Praying for the people of Venezuela. Praying for Israel. Paul was right in his admonition to pray without ceasing.
These are terrible times...
Government colectivos murdered protesters in Venezuela and today they arrested the opposition leader...

I guess Chicken Kiev is about bird not Ukrainians!
Putin offers Ukraine $15B in loans and cheap natural gas in bid to trump EU deal.
Russia offers Ukraine loans not requiring signing away sovereignty and natural resources, ask Greece about the deal the EU offers.
Praying for Middle East and African Christians, among others.
Why ask Greece? I don’t recall that Russia is trying to make it a SSR.
“Russia offers Ukraine loans not requiring signing away sovereignty and natural resources, ask Greece about the deal the EU offers.”
Yeah, Russian money comes clean without all the nasty strings of the Western money...
LOL!
Still shamelessly pushing Russian government propaganda after all these years I see. More than half of your posts are based on stories from news agencies directly or indirectly controlled by the Russian government. And, shockingly, without fail, you always back the Putin/Kremlin line. Even for you though, that quote’s a bit much.
Not everyone wants bedwetter Liberal Free Trade Communist Globalism like yourself
That’s right, all hail your new Leader, Vladi Putin! Off to the camps, otherwise.
Yes, crazy so many folks are willing to let Ukraine be pushed into the failed EU.
Scary...
Did you see the part about Putin trying to get the Ukraine to sign a free trade agreement? How did you manage to wrap your pea-brain around it?
Yup. This is a conflict between the globalists and Russia. When EU and Soros want something that’s a red flag.
Is this like the Commies and National Socialists fighting in the Weimar Germany days? no good guys?
Not in IMO. I think a stalemate is better than Russia becoming further weakened by the EU.
It's "Ukraine" not "the Ukraine"
One does not say "the France", "the Italy", "the China", "the russia".
