Ukraine's PM and government resign
Ukraine's President Viktor Yanukovych has accepted the resignation of the prime minister and his cabinet amid continuing anti-government protests.
Mykola Azarov had offered to step down as prime minister to create "social and political compromise".
The move came after the Ukrainian parliament voted overwhelmingly to annul controversial anti-protest laws.
The protests have spread in recent days across Ukraine, even to President Yanukovych's stronghold in the east.
Official buildings in several cities have been occupied.
Tuesday saw the interior ministry report that three protesters had stabbed and wounded three policemen in the southern city of Kherson, one of whom later died.
At least five people have been killed in violence linked to the protests.

Also from the BBC
Meanwhile, top EU diplomat Catherine Ashton has brought forward a planned visit to Ukraine by 48 hours and will now arrive on Tuesday for meetings with Mr Yanukovych and opposition leaders.
She said she was "alarmed" by reports on Monday that the government was preparing to introduce a state of emergency. Officials have denied any such plan.
Ms Ashton arrives from Brussels where she, with other senior EU leaders, will have met Russian President Vladimir Putin at an EU-Russia summit.
Differences over Ukraine were expected to be high on the agenda.

Not until the President resigns or there is a new election.
Russia is now also threatening to withdraw its 15 billion funding if the administration steps down.

Also today Putin told the EU to butt out and let Ukraine take care of its own business. Also said that Russia wouldn't interfere.

The official delegation of the European Parliament visited EuroMaidan (on 28/01/2014).
“12 deputies from various countries of Europe came to see the barricades on Hrushevskogo Street, visited the tents, aid station, the fifth floor of the House of Trade Unions. The whole Europe admires our protest, our people. They understand that it is impossible to gain the victory over us”, told the MP Andriy Parubiy in his post on Facebook.

My guess is, no. The president is the biggest problem, and he is still in power, and there are not-so-subtle threats from Putin.
Barring a Russian invasion, however, the level of confrontation will likely decrease for awhile.

Ukraine's parliament on Wednesday passed a measure offering amnesty to those arrested in two months of protests, but only if demonstrators vacate most of the buildings they occupy. The move was quickly greeted with contempt by the opposition.
quote:
"In reality, parliament has just passed a law on hostages. The authorities have themselves recognized that they are taking hostages, as terrorists so they can trade the hostages," said Oleh Tyahnybok, leader of the Svoboda party and one of the protests' top figures, according to the Interfax news agency.

Hmmmm, yes. I'm surprised we haven't had more pics posted of Yulia Tymoshenko. (Former PM, current government opponent, imprisoned by current regime.)

She used to be a brunette?
ETA: Apparently so, back in the early 2000s:
And for good measure, her daughter:

I guess. I decided to post an atypical pic, hoping for more like yours to be posted. She's been showing a bit of mileage since her trial and incarceration, but she's still a damn good looking woman.
