Ukraine's embattled President Viktor Yanukovych returned to protest-hit Kyiv on Saturday after holding talks with his Russian counterpart and ally Vladimir Putin about a suspended Moscow bailout loan.
The chat late Friday on the sidelines of the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympic Games in Russia’s Black Sea resort of Sochi came amid intensifying pressure from the opposition on Yanukovych to cede some of his broad powers and appoint a new pro-Western government.
