Five More Amazing Photos from the Ukrainian Protests

Pro-European Union protests entered their third week in the Ukrainian capital of Kiev.

As many as a million people may have joined in the protests calling on Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich to fire his cabinet and reject plans that would form a closer alliance with Russia, according to reports.

Thousands of protesters have been camping out in the capital’s central square.

Protests broke out after the Ukrainian government decided not to sign a trade and integration deal with the European Union.

The Washington Free Beacon assembled five more amazing photos from the scenes of the protests.
