Three protesters have died in fierce clashes with police in the Ukraine today as both sides lined up as if they were going to war.
Armed police in riot gear arranged themselves into military-style formations and protesters brandished guns and baseball bats as the situation in Kiev got out of control.
It came as a shocking video emerged of a man having his hand blown off in the capital by a stun grenade. It shows the grenade going off before protesters attending to an injured man whose hand is ripped to shreds while blood spurts from his wrist.
