Protesters Clash In Kyiv As Ukraine Marks Euromaidan Anniversary

Thousands gathered in Kyiv to remember the Euromaidan protests of 2013 which eventually toppled Ukraine's pro-Moscow President Viktor Yanukovych. Groups of rival demonstrators faced off in a series of minor scuffles on the streets, on the evening of November 21, and there were brief clashes with security forces. Many rallied on the capital's Independence Square, also known as Maidan, chanting: "revolution, revolution," and denouncing Russian intervention in Ukraine.
