Crowds toppled a statue of Soviet state founder Vladimir Lenin in the Ukrainian capital and attacked it with hammers on Sunday (December 8) in the latest mass protests against President Viktor Yanukovich and his plans for closer ties with Russia. The statue’s felling – a symbolic rejection of Moscow’s power – came after opposition leaders told hundreds of thousands of demonstrators to keep up pressure on Yanukovich to sack his government. Protesters were filmed breaking up the statue with hammers after using ropes and metal bars to bring it crashing down. The demonstrators are furious with the Yanukovich government for its decision to ditch a landmark pact with the European Union in favour of a trade deal with Moscow, Ukraine’s Soviet-era overlord. euronews: the most watched news channel in Europe Subscribe! http://eurone.ws/10ZCK4a euronews is available in...
