Associated Press: Klitschko attacked in Ukraine
Head of UDAR (Punch) party and one of the leaders of the opposition Vitali Klitschko (C) tries to stop clashes between police and protesters on January 19, 2014 during an opposition rally in the centre of the Ukrainian capital Kiev in a show of defiance against strict new curbs on protests. 200,000 protesters expressed frustration over the lack of a clear programme from the opposition leaders after almost two months of protests over the government's ditching of a pact with the EU under Russian pressure.
