Ukrainian opposition leader Arseniy Yatsenyuk has warned European officials that the army could be used to crush protests against the country's president, his party said on Saturday. The opposition has refused to end street protests despite the passing of the amnesty for protesters arrested in the two-month crisis. The huge protests started in November when Yanukovych scrapped an integration deal with the EU in favour of closer ties with Kiev's historical master Moscow. AFP PHOTO / ARIS MESSINIS
KINGSTON, Ont. -- It was -10 C today in Kingston but it felt like -21 C.
In Kyiv, Ukraine's capital, it was -12 C but felt more like -20 C.
I'm writing from the comfort of my study. My good friends in the Euromaidan aren't anywhere near as snug. Yet they endure, not only cold but brutality because, for them, Ukraine always was, is, and shall forever must be, a European nation.
