A protester holds a poster against police violence reading “Protect our Children” during a rally in front of Ukrainian parliament on December 3, 2013. The Ukrainian government survived a no-confidence vote today after the prime minister apologised for a brutal police crackdown on protests that were sparked by the ex-Soviet state's rejection of a historic EU pact. Following pressure from the opposition, Prime Minister Mykola Azarov arrived at an emergency parliament session and personally apologised for a crackdown in a bid to defuse the ex-Soviet nation's worst political crisis in a decade.
