KIEV, UKRAINE, FEBRUARY 18, 2014: A man carries a Molotov cocktail in front of a burning vehicles and tires on Institutska Street near Ukraine's parliament. Pro EU and anti government demonstrators clashed with police in the Ukrainian capitol Kiev on Tuesday with media reports saying that at least 5 people were killed during the confrontations. A short distance away is Independence Square, which has been the center of a protest movement for approximately 3 months and has been dubbed the Euro Maidan (Euro Square) by the demonstrators. The protest movement began in November after the Ukrainian government said it would not sign an EU Association Agreement that would have brought the nation closer to the European Union.
