Tens of thousands of protesters, buoyed by pledges of support from Europe and the United States, rallied in Ukraine on Sunday in a bid to wring new concessions from President Viktor Yanukovych. More than 50,000 people could be seen on Kiev's barricaded Independence Square -- that has become the epicentre of a two-month protest movement -- and thousands more were arriving.
