介绍:
Ukraine's embattled president Viktor Yanukovych is calling the country's political crisis a "coup", saying it resembled the rise of Nazis in the 1930s. Yanukovych also says he has no intention of resigning or leaving the country. "I'm not going to leave the country. I'm not going to resign. I'm a legitimately elected president. I've been given guarantees by all the international mediators with whom I worked, they have given security guarantees. I will see how they are going to play this part. Everything that is taking place today is, to a large exent, vandalism, and banditry, and a state coup." Yanukovych and opposition leaders signed an agreement aimed at resolving the country's turmoil on Friday. Ukraine's former prime minister Yulia Tymoshenko, the arch-rival of Yanukovych, arrived in Kiev on Saturday to be greeted by a crowd of supporters and journalists. Parliament arranged the release of Tymoshenko after protesters took control of the capital. Upon her release, Tymoshenko promised to run for president and immediately went to Kiev's Independence Square, also known as Maidan. Tymoshenko has served two and a half years on a conviction of abuse of office.
