VOICED : Oposicion ucraniana presiona

Pro-European protests filled Kiev's streets as citizens opposed President Yanukovych's decision to strengthen ties with Russia over the EU. The EU's response was mixed, with some officials suspending talks, while others claimed the association agreement remained open. U.S. Senator John McCain expressed support for the protesters. In a conciliatory move, the Ukrainian government dismissed officials responsible for violent protest dispersals. Analysts speculate that Ukraine may secure economic benefits from Russia, such as reduced gas prices or credit, during Yanukovych's upcoming visit to Moscow.
