Ukraine saw its biggest protests since the 2004 Orange Revolution on Sunday as more than 100,000 people voiced anger over the government’s refusal to sign an agreement with the European Union.

Defying a ban on protests in the centre of Kiev, huge crowds assembled in Independence Square calling for a “revolution” against President Viktor Yanukovych. Others clashed with riot police and stormed the city mayor’s office, saying it would serve as an operational protest headquarters until Mr Yanukovych stepped down.

“We want Europe and freedom,” said protester Mykola Sapronov, 62. ““The leaders must resign.”
