Ukraine's government hangs on amid huge Kiev protest over EU deal |
2013-12-04 |
[FOXNEWS] The Russian-aligned government in Ukraine was clinging to power amid Day 2 of a massive protest in Kiev and what the prime minister branded a "coup attempt" by a pro-European opposition led in part by boxing's world heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko. President Viktor Yanukovich and his top ally, Prime Minister Mykola Azarov, were scrambling to avoid a replay of the 2004 "Orange Revolution," in which Yanukovich was ousted as prime minister and presidential front-runner. But the protesters, angered at the regime's rejection of a trade agreement with the European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... , vowed to remain in Kiev's Independence Square until Yanukovich steps down. |
