ул. Грушевского, Киев. Сегодня днем. A protestor walks in the near burning tyres during clashes with riot police in Kiev on January 22, 2014. At least two activists were shot dead today as Ukrainian police stormed protesters' barricades in Kiev, the first fatalities in two months of anti-government protests. Pitched battles raged in the centre of the Ukrainian capital as protesters hurled stones at police and the security forces responded with tear gas and rubber bullets. AFP PHOTO/ DMITRY SEREBRYAKOV
