KIEV, Ukraine (AP) — Some people were hit by bricks or sprayed with shrapnel from stun grenades. Others were burned or struck by bullets — some rubber, some real.
A day and night of pitched battles in downtown Kiev between protesters and police left at least 26 dead and hundreds injured in the Ukrainian capital. Many protesters, terrified that they would be taken straight from the hospital to a police station, sought medical help at a nearby monastery, where operating tables stand near the altar.
