      This was not your usual political protest.

      In Paris, topless activists from Femen decided to squat down near the pavement to demonstrate their disrespect for Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych—a close ally of Russian president Vladimir Putin.

      The antipatriarchal, anticlerical demonstrators appeared to pee on Yanukovych's portrait, though they might have been releasing liquid from a pouch hidding under their skirts.

      It followed Yanukovych's ban on protests in the Ukrainian capital of Kiev.

      Yanukovych has enraged many of his countrymen by suspending work on a deal with the European Union.

      Femen leader Inna Shevchenko blamed the decision on Putin.
