SHOWS: Catherine Ashton, European Union foreign policy chief, placed flowers at a memorial for the people killed in clashes with the police in central Kiev on Monday.
Ukraine's fugitive president Viktor Yanukovich was indicted for "mass murder" on Monday over the shooting of demonstrators as new leaders in Kiev sought urgent Western aid to make up for a loss of funding from Russia, which is angry at the overthrow of its ally.
Moscow said it would not deal with those who led an "armed mutiny" against Yanukovich, who was elected in 2010, and said it now feared for the lives of its citizens, notably in the Russian-speaking east and Crimea on the Black Sea.
