Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian demonstrators have taken to the streets to protest against President Viktor Yanukovich.
On Monday, after a weekend of clashes, protesters blocked entrances to government buildings, closed off streets and called for Yanukovich’s resignation.
Protests began late last month after Yanukovich abruptly nixed a deal for closer ties with the European Union, saying that Ukraine couldn’t afford to break trade ties with Russia.
