Six members of the Ukrainian feminist group Femen held a bare-breasted protest in Kyiv on Sunday against a visit by Belarussian strongman Alexander Lukashenko to watch the Euro 2012 final.

The women stripped off their tops in front of Kyiv's Olympic stadium that will host the football final, with several wearing balaclavas and brandishing rubber batons in a reference to Lukashenko's crackdowns on protesters.

One woman sported a wig and a fake moustache to make her resemble the man once described by the United States as "Europe's last dictator", who is subject to a European Union-wide travel ban over rights abuses.

Several women displayed the slogan "Respect, KGB, UEFA" scrawled on their bare chests, criticising the tournament's organisers for tolerating Lukashenko's presence.

A number of Ukrainian human rights organisations have called on European leaders to pressure President Viktor Yanukovych to withdraw Lukashenko's invitation and boycott the final.
