ecoiner, LOL.
CNN? Is this Ukrainian mass-media?
Since the beginning of collisions died 77 peoples, not for today. 15 of them are from police. So you think policemans shooting at policemans? Do you think they are idiots? Man, since the beginning of the conflict they are not armed with killing weapons - they were just standing as walls preventing further spreading of vandals downtown. They have for now (3 days) rubber bullets, but the situation requires much more tough measures. Peaceful demonstrators are no longer peaceful. This armed rebellion terrorists. They are completely destroyed the city center and continue to vandalism and looting.
Official statement from the Ministry of Health:

The so-called "ceasefire" - the police have nothing but shields and "peaceful demonstrators" during the ceasefire throw stones at police, throw fireworks, etc.:

PS: I am from UA, do not tell me what happens here. Do not try to fool bitcointalk community (with anything including childs/womens etc - killed policemen also were children, wifes (now widows), brothers, sisters, parents). So stop this.
PPS: enough politics. No one country has the right to interfere into the affairs of an independent country.
