Ukrainian activists battled police after a night of violence rocked the capital, defying new laws to subdue anti-government rallies that began two months ago.
By 4:45 p.m. in Kyiv today, protesters had begun throwing Molotov cocktails at police, who fired rubber bullets back. Activists also began building a catapult to launch missiles. The two sides exchanged smoke and sound bombs yesterday in subzero temperatures as police vehicles were burned. More than 200 people were injured.
