More than 100,000 demonstrators chased away police to rally in the centre of Ukraine’s capital on Sunday, defying a government ban on protests on Independence Square, in the biggest show of anger over the president’s refusal to sign an agreement with the European Union.
Thousands of demonstrators tried to storm the nearby presidential administration building, but were driven back by riot police using tear gas and flash grenades, which produce a loud bang but are not intended to cause injury. The standoff continued, with more demonstrators arriving.

There is a genuine revolution against the corrupt government which has been stealing elections.
The media is hyping the "Pro -EU" stance.
I would wager that most people are just "Anti-Corruption" with an earnest desire for democracy.

It isn't clear to me.
What am I missing?
Protests have been held daily in Kyiv since Yanukovych backed away from an agreement that would have established free trade and deepened political co-operation between Ukraine and the EU. He justified the decision by saying that Ukraine could not afford to break trade ties with Russia.

Non of which the EU would solve. The EU is run by unelected people and the EC is a corrupt as Western Bankers and to top it off the EU is economically broke.
EU comprises democracies where the constituent membership nations are orderly and fairly well run. Many may be in an economic quagmire

Revolution is a pretty strong word.
