De nio poliser som dött sägs ha dödats av skott. Man kan fråga sig hur nuvarande fransk, tysk, svensk, amerikansk regim skulle agera om en sådan situation uppstod? Jag tycker revolten är berättigad, men frågan bör ställas:

But with Mr Yanukovych declaring the violence an "armed rebellion," and activists in Western regions reportedly raiding police arms depots, many here are now whispering two words that were unthinkable even a month ago: civil war.
The entrenched position of the president was clear earlier in the night, when a meeting between Mr Yanukovych and opposition leaders failed to find a solution to the crisis.
“Yanukovych said that there is only one option... to clear Maidan and that everyone has to go home,” opposition leader Vitali Klitschko said.
Kiev was essentially in lockdown as authorities halted the city’s metro system and limited road traffic coming into the capital.
Police said nine officers had died from gunshot wounds, while authorities and medics counted nine civilian deaths since Tuesday morning.
Another two civilians were found dead, but their bodies showed no exterior signs of violence, making it unclear how they had died.---
Even the opposition headquarters, the imposing Trade Union House, went up in flames, and a frantic effort was mounted to save people inside. Many jumped from windows and were caught by protesers using tents.
“If we hold on until morning, we have a chance to make it out,” one protester said.
Police continued to make small gains over night, pushing further into the square at weak points and forcing protesters to torch tents, equipment and other detritus in an attempt to extend their fire barricade.
But the offensive that began the day seemed to have ground to a halt by midnight - halted, protesters said, by the destruction by firebombs of a police APC and a water cannon truck.

“The violent scenario is a tragic and irreversible decision,” Volodymyr Fesenko, head of the Penta Political Analysis Center in Kiev, said by phone. “Western Ukraine may even declare its insubordination. Any attempt to restore order in western Ukraine by force will start a civil war.”
The violence has spread throughout Ukraine. Protesters stormed police offices in Ternopil and Ivano-Frankivsk, both in western Ukraine. In Lviv, the country’s fourth-largest city, protesters set fire to a security services building.
