The headline doesn't do justice to what's going on.
The government (cabinet) resigned, though the president has asked them to remain on the job until replacements are found. Armed police have fled from armed protestors. There are reports of police having been killed.
So the protestors seem to have both weapons and more determination than the police. It remains to be seen whether they have more staying power than the police, whether the army is going to fight the protestors, and whether Russia is going to take a hand.
