Thousands of supporters of a far-right party in Ukraine have held a torch-lit procession through the capital, Kiev.
The marchers from the Svoboda or Freedom Party were marking the birthday of a World War II-era partisan leader.
The marchers shouted “Glory to Ukraine!” and “Death to the enemies!” as they marched through Kiev.
Svoboda has been a key participant in recent protests against President Viktor Yanukovych’s decision to cancel a deal with the EU.
