Video: Ukraine police caught on camera 'punching' protester Demonstrators have been out in the streets of Kiev for several weeks, angered by President Viktor Yanukovich's decision to shun a trade pact with the European Union and instead accept financial aid from Russia. But events have taken a violent turn since Sunday after a mass rally called by the opposition to protest against sweeping new legislation that would prevent any sort of anti-government protest. Video emerged from a Ukrainian television channel of riot police appearing to punch a protester as they were carrying him away to a waiting van. Two demonstrators were reportedly killed on Wednesday in new anti-government unrest in the Ukrainian capital Kiev, inflaming protesters who confronted police shouting "Murderers" and "Glory to Ukraine!." Reports spread that a man had been shot dead by a police sniper overnight and that another demonstrator had fallen to his death atop the Dynamo football stadium, scene of the clashes in central Kiev.
