BERLIN: German Chancellor Angela Merkel met with two Ukrainian opposition leaders yesterday, in a sign of support, but did not appear to have given concrete backing to their pleas for immediate sanctions on President Viktor Yanukovich
Ukraine has been hit by three months of unrest at perceived corruption in the Yanukovich administration, sparked by his decision not to pursue trade and other deals with the European Union. The Ukrainian opposition has been urging the EU to go beyond vocal support for its fight for more democracy. REUTERS
