Ukrainian activists battled police for a second night in the capital, defying new laws to subdue anti-government rallies that began two months ago.
By 8:45 p.m. today in Kiev, protesters throwing Molotov cocktails at police were met by rubber bullets and smoke bombs. Activists also began building a catapult to launch projectiles. The two sides exchanged smoke and sound bombs yesterday in subzero temperatures as police vehicles were burned. More than 200 people were injured.
