"Opposition leaders turned down Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich’s proposal following a Saturday meeting where top government posts were offered to protest leaders and a review of the constitution was promised.

The proposals were rejected, with the head of the Ukrainian Democratic Alliance for Reform party, Vitaly Klitschko, saying that current laws must be abolished and presidential elections must be held this year. He added that negotiations will continue, RT’s Alexey Yaroshevsky reported. "

So much for peaceful protest?

Sometimes you have to break a few eggs.

Yep. It also means you should not be surprised when riot police use justified lethal force.

Well, it looks like they were spot on with their reporting last night.

Funny that.

I wouldn't trust Russia Today to report the new accurately and in an unbiased fashion any more than I would trust Fox News in the United States. Russia Today gains significant funding from the Russian Government which as an organisation is increasingly more and more authoritarian and undemocratic. It would be foolish in the extreme to rely on their reporting as a sole source of information on the continuing unrest and violence that is occurring in Kiev.
