KIEV, Ukraine (AP) - Ukraine's embattled President Viktor Yanukovych is taking sick leave, his office announced Thursday, leaving it unclear how involved he may be in efforts to resolve the country's political crisis in which protesters are calling for his resignation.

Well isn't that convenient.

Sandwich anyone?

Not a lot of meat on those sandwiches, but she's cute.

Any more updates on anything?

Besides the president taking a sick leave, the barricade of the policemen is now gone. They are still there however. Pretty much just a situation that could explode at any moment.

Heard that the president taking a leave for being sick is a common tactic used in similar style of governments in order to distance themselves from orders that were about to be given.

I felt this was some interesting news that came out tonight. Shows what kind of government the people are dealing with. For those who aren't following closely, Automaiden is a group that uses vehicle convoys drive around and near government officials house to protest what is going on.

Lol!

Bulatov’s kidnappers crucified him, cut off a piece of his ear and spoke with a Russian accent

One of the leaders of Automaidan Dmytro Bulatov, who disappeared for a lengthy period, was found on the evening of Thursday, January 30, in the village of Vyshenky, Boryspil District, outside of Kyiv.

As described by Bulatov himself, unknown persons were beating and torturing him, had cut off his ear, and even crucified him – he has puncture wounds on his hands, reports TSN correspondent Olga Koshelenko.

Automaidan leader does not know who kidnapped him, but noted that the men were speaking with a Russian accent.

Following lengthy tortures, he was driven away and thrown out from a car. The brutally beaten man was walking through the village and knocking on every door, until one of the local residents finally let him in. From there, Bulatov called his friends, who have already transported him to Kyiv.

Just heard on the news that police were on their way to arrest him for inciting a riot. So, looks like they had someone kidnap, beat and torture him and are now going to put him in jail.

The party of jailed former prime minister Yulia Tymoshenko said on Saturday that the Ukrainian authorities were considering the introduction of a state of emergency in a bid to break up the protest movement against the government.

"An announcement by the SBU is an element of a use-of-force scenario, planning the possible introduction of a state of emergency," a senior official with the Batkivshchyna party, Grygoriy Nemyria, told AFP.

"The involvement of the army, this has not happened during the Orange Revolution. This is unacceptable," he added.
