Kiev Rioting

Suddenly, the capital of Ukraine Kiev is rioting.

On Nov. 28—29 2013 Ukraine was to sign an agreement to form an alliance with the European Union, a part of Ukraine’s long-anticipated initiative to become Euro-integrated. The agreement, however, never came to be, as the government of Ukraine put the process on hold about a week prior. So, come Saturday Nov.30, the folk of Kiev gathered in protest.

   

Radical protesters stormed and secured Kiev’s City Administration :

And attacked the President’s administration headquarters:

At one point, the protesters used a road scraper to crush the police barricades.

As of early Monday Dec.2, the riots in Kiev are under way.
