A man throws a Molotov cocktail during an anti-government protest in downtown Kiev, Ukraine, on Monday. Hundreds of protesters carrying clubs and wearing gas masks faced riot police in the city's government quarters a day after more than 200 people were injured in the worst violence in almost two months of anti-government rallies. The protesters demand that Ukraine ally itself more strongly with the European Union and that President Viktor Yanukovych call early elections. Yanukovych in November refused to sign a partnership agreement with the EU and sought closer ties with Russia instead.
