Ukraine's Parliament Seizes Some Power From Yanukovych in Hopes of Peace
Friday saw some sudden changes in Ukraine towards peace, after seventy-seven were killed and over six hundred injured in violent fighting in Kiev over the week. However it is unclear if they will last.
Parliament reduced the powers of President Viktor Yanukovych, moving the country back to it's 2004 constitution. They voted to release former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, a political rival of Yanukovych, from prison.
It was also voted that Interior Minister Vitali Zakharchenko should be fired, for his role in encouraging the violence from police officers. Many would like to see him brought up on criminal charges for his actions.
Under agreements between the opposition and the president, elections will now take place "no later than December" instead of the scheduled March 2015. This is not enough for some protesters, many of who want Yanukovych out immediately. The deals were negotiated by representatives of the EU, causing Russia to complain that the peace process is being controlled by the west.
Meanwhile, in western Ukraine, the regional governments of Ivano-Frankivsk and Khmelnitsky joined Lviv in rejecting Yanukovych's government's authority over them. The three regions have disbanded or taken over all police and security forces, within their borders.
