Financial Times: Yatseniuk poised to become Ukraine premier
: Vitali Klitschko (L), head of the Udar (Punch) party, speaks to the media, flanked by the head of the Batkivshchyna party Arseniy Yatsenyuk (C) and German Minister for Foreign Affairs Frank-Walter Steinmeier, after a deal was signed between the Ukrainian president and the opposition at the office of the Ukrainian president in Kiev on February 21, 2014. Ukraine's leader and opposition on February 21 signed a deal to end the splintered country's worst crisis since independence after three days of carnage left nearly 100 protesters dead and the heart of Kiev resembling a war zone. President Viktor Yanukovych's dramatic decision to hold early elections and form a new unity government was met with caution by the tens of thousands gathered on central Kiev's main square for a protest that began exactly three months earlier.
