Street violence flared up in Ukraine last night as protesters battled police in defiance of new laws aimed at subduing anti-government demonstrations that started two months ago.
Officers used rubber bullets and water cannons in subzero temperatures as protesters hurled Molotov cocktails. The two sides exchanged smoke and sound bombs, with police vehicles burning nearby. More than 200 people were injured.
