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 suspended negotiations due to Yanukovych's lack of commitment, while the US, represented by Senator John McCain, expressed support for the protesters. In response to violent dispersals ordered by local officials, the Ukrainian government took conciliatory actions by revoking their positions. As tensions rose, the opposition anticipated Yanukovych's economic agreements with Russia, potentially easing Ukraine's economic struggles through reduced gas prices or credits.
