EUROMAIDAN UKRAINE: NEWS via TWITTER

News from Ukraine via Twitter

The December 11th event during Ukraine's EuroMaidan protests was indeed exciting and historic.

In the early morning hours, peaceful patriotic protesters amassed to defend their right to demonstrate against the authoritarian and destructive Yanukovych and Party of Regions regime in Ukraine by fending off pro-regime riot police and mercenary "titushky" thugs.
