If mass uprisings, riots and unrest can settle into a routine, Ukraine's ongoing standoff between police and protesters did just that on Jan. 27. An uneasy truce held since the Hrushevskoho Street confrontation started on Jan. 19, turning deadly on Jan. 22 with the gunshot deaths of three protesters as police advanced on the crowd. The nation's political leaders met on Jan. 27, the fourth time this month, but reached no agreement to end the crisis. EuroMaidan continues in its 69th day on Jan. 28 with parliament holding an emergency session.
