| UpdatedAn Australian video journalist says he was struck by rubber bullets while documenting violent clashes between police and protesters in Ukraine last week.
At least six people have been killed and hundreds reportedly injured during two months of demonstrations which have gripped the former Soviet country.
The protests come after president Viktor Yanukovych abandoned a trade deal with the European Union in favour of closer ties with Russia.
"I was next to one fellow who was shot in the head with a rubber bullet and he fell like a tree," video journalist Demjin Doroschenko, who is originally from Ukraine, said.
An estimated 40,000 Ukrainians call Australia home and many are worried the fighting could lead to an all-out civil war in their homeland.
