The protests became violent today. Protesters threw bricks and Molotov cocktails at police. It seems like the police are showing restraint. Or else, they’re outnumbered and don’t want to advance yet. Boxer-turned politician Vitali Klitchko got sprayed in the face with a fire extinguisher at some point. See the link below for pics.

I just learned that barricades are being built in L’viv to keep reinforcements from moving from the Army barracks here to Kyiv.
