Opposition demonstrators stand in front of burning barricades during clashes with police in Kiev on February 18, 2014. Opposition leader Vitali Klitschko on Tuesday urged women and children to leave the opposition’s main protest camp on Kiev’s Independence Square, known as Maidan, as riot police massed nearby. “We ask women and children to quit Maidan as we cannot rule out the possibility that they will storm (the camp),” the former heavyweight boxing champion told protestors on the square.
