Incredible photos. Looks like something from a comic book.

i hear the police have apologised to those protesting and said they will no longer support the government in fighting citizens (unconfirmed - just internet chatter)

Those giant slingshots, noticed Syrian protestors using similar, crude and simple, but effective.
Fantastic, and disturbing photos, too.

Bit late for remorse now, they've already killed loads!

Heard they're drafting in the military and using 'anti-terrorism' laws against the protestors.

Some incredible photos, but upsetting. Could all get very nasty with Russia, EU & US at odds with each other. 🙁

This happened in Ternopil. AFAIK, it hasn't happened anywhere else, although as I understand from friends, Lviv is entirely under the control of free Ukrainians.

I know this probably feels quite distant to most of you, but if you are of such a mind, please keep this on your radar. The whole thing is very close to home for me.

Rest assured, Mr Woppit, that this is Putin. Yanukovych is merely his puppet and always has been. The tactics being deployed by those loyal to Yanukovych are 100% pure Russian.

This is rapidly becoming too depressing for words

It's like the Arab Spring never happened. Do governments not consider what opening fire on their own people might result in beyond immediate deaths?

Dramatic changes today. Let's hope that there's an orderly transition to the next government.

Hopefuly there will be peaceful conclusion, which ironically might end with a man famous for fighting in charge
