Tens of thousand of Ukrainians protested in Kiev's Independence Square on Sunday.
They continue to demand that President Viktor
Yanukovych leave office, as they have every day since he backed away from an economic treaty with the EU, in November.
However, Sunday was marked a clear move forward, as riot police left their positions, around the protest, and protesters ended their occupation of city hall.
This comes after the government agreed, on Friday, that amnesty would be granted for all protesters and began releasing detainees.
On Tuesday, Yanukovych is expected to name his nominee for prime minister.
His selection will do a to tell if he is going to stick to his word of making further concessions.
Either way, opposition leaders will be pushing for a minimum of Yanukovych's powers being limited.
