Thousands Protest in Ukraine

Thousands of Ukrainians protested in Kiev, on Monday.

They marched through the streets demanding that the government get back to joining the EU, instead of renewing ties with Russia.

Many fear that their government will give in to Russian pressure and fall back under Moscow's sway.

Russia has been threatening to boycott Ukrainian products if they join the EU.

Opposition leaders are vowing to protest every day until the government listens and joins the EU.

For the most part, the protests have been peaceful, but there have been some clashes with police, who have responded with tear gas.
