Topless Ukrainian feminists attempt to steal Euro trophy in protest ahead of tournament
Stunt: A topless activist from the group - with an anti Euro 2012 slogan on her belly - had also tried to grab the trophy from Independence Square in Kiev earlier this month

The Kiev-based Femen is focusing its topless protests for women's rights on next month's Euro 2012 soccer tournament.

Femen says Euro 2012, which will run in Ukraine from June 9 to July 1, will lead to a surge in prostitution in the former Soviet republic and entrench the country as a sex tourist destination in Europe.        

It is threatening to carry out a blitz of stunts against the tournament.  

The 8 kg Henri Delaunay cup is on a tour of Ukraine so Ukrainians can have souvenir photographs taken of themselves alongside it.
