The way I understand it..... part of the Ukraine wants greater ties with Russia... and part wants greater ties with the EU The president favoured the Russian argument (refusing to sign a deal with the EU) and gave himself greater powers to override the Ukrainian parliament. The president and the opposition signed an agreement yesterday.......but it wasn't acceptable to the protesters who have lost friends amid the bloodshed....and they refused to back down and now the president appears to have fled. Perhaps he will resurface....its not clear.

Well the president has been impeached..... and the opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko has been freed. It could be over...We'll have to wait and see.
