Ukrainian anti-government protesters clash with police

Several thousand anti-government protesters clashed with police near Ukraine's parliament, torching a police truck and hurling stones in the first real violence in the capital Kiev in more than three weeks. The protesters marched to the parliament building in a move to keep up pressure on President Viktor Yanukovich to relinquish some of his presidential powers. When blocked by a line of trucks about 100 metres short of the building, the protesters hurled stones at police and petrol bombs set two trucks ablaze. Police replied by firing stun and smoke grenades from trucks and from the tops of buildings to try to break up the crowd. President Yanukovich has been battling an opposition-led street revolt since he walked away from a trade pact with the European Union in November and opted instead for forging closer economic ties with Russia.
