A protester wearing improvised protective gear helps a woman cross near the barricade in front of riot police in Kiev, Ukraine, Friday Jan. 24, 2014. Protesters have seized a government building in the Ukrainian capital while also maintaining the siege of several governors’ offices in the country’s west, raising the pressure on the government. After meeting with President Viktor Yanukovych on Thursday, opposition leaders told the crowds that he has promised to ensure the release of dozens of protesters detained after clashes with police and stop further detentions.
