An anti-government protester holds a shield as he walks amidst flames during clashes with Interior Ministry members and riot police in central Kiev early February 19, 2014. Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich warned his opponents on Wednesday that he could deploy force against them after what he called their attempt to “seize power” by means of “arson and murder”.
