Tensions remain high in the Ukrainian capital of Kiev after a night of violent clashes between police and protesters.
President Victor Yanukovych is due to meet with pro-EU demonstrators and opposition leaders to try and resolve the crisis. The violence on Sunday evening was the worst since activists began holding demonstrations nine weeks ago to protest the government's decision to reject a political agreement with the European Union.
The clashes occurred after Ukraine's parliament passed new laws restricting free speech and public protest and increasing the powers of the police.
