(AFP) Pro-West Ukrainians on Sunday staged the biggest protest rally in Kiev since the 2004 Orange Revolution, demanding that the government sign a key pact with the European Union and clashing with police.

Hundreds of protesters attempted to storm the government building - after the main rally attracted tens of thousands in central Kiev - but police forced them back with batons and tear gas.
