In Kiev, people gathered around Nezhaleshnosti to protest that their President sign their EU Association agreement. His response was to get the police to beat them up, just as the protest was about to break up.
Things rapidly went downhill from there, and soon enough the protesters wanted him to resign and call early elections. Ukrainians are not Irish protesters that turn up with a few placards, hand in a letter of protest, hit the boozer and go home. When they protest, they get out in the frost and the snow, set up camp in Nezhaleshnosti Square and don't shift until their demands are met. 10 years ago they drove Yanukovich out of office. This year they did it again, while America looked on and left the people there to their own fate, however it ended up, as they do now.
