UKRAINE - POLITICS - UNREST - RUSSIA - KHARKIV
An injured man looks on as pro-Russian activists clash with Maidan supporters as they storm the regional government building in Kharkiv on March 1, 2014. Dozens were hurt on March 1, 2014 when a pro-Russia protest in Ukraine's eastern city of Kharkiv turned violent, with demonstrators trying to storm the local government building, an AFP reporter said. Some 20,000 joined the protest against Kiev's new pro-West government after the ouster of Kremlin-backed leader Viktor Yanukovych, and later around 300 launched the assault on the government building. Stones and stun grenades were thrown though it was unclear by whom. AFP PHOTO/ SERGEY BOBOK
