A protester (C) and others are blocked by police during a rally against Mayor Leonid Chernovetsky in front of Kiev's city council office March 26, 2009. Demonstrators said Chernovetsky wants to raise tariffs and that will result in additional financial pressure for small businesses. Ukraine has been hit hard by the global financial crisis and is expected to fall deep into recession this year as the currency weakens and industry has all but ground to a halt.
