A stun grenade explodes between protesters as they clash with police during the storming of the Viktor Yanukovych Presidential office in Kiev during a mass rally of the opposition in Kiev on December 1, 2013. The crowd chanted \"Revolution!\" and \"Down with the Gang\" as it took control of Kiev's iconic Independence Square and steered a bulldozer within striking distance of police barricades protecting the nearby presidential adminstration office. AFP reporters saw security forces outside the presidential building fire stun grenades and smoke bombs at a few dozen masked demonstrators who were pelting police with huge stones and what Ukrainian media said were molotov cocktails.
