总统和安全部队撤離基辅
基辅（亚洲新闻）- 总统维克托·亚努科维奇（Viktor Yanukovych）在基辅的办公室已经空置，也没有卫兵守护；安全部队也不见在迈丹，示威者似乎已经完全控制局面。
反对派成员说，不知道总统在那里，但他们仍然要求总统立即辞职，以及在5月25日之前举行选举，而不是在十二月。昨天亚努科维奇和反对派，已经同意举行大选。
该协议是因为双方尝试挽救国家免陷于内战和经济灾难。双方同意重新恢复2004年的宪法（乌克兰「橙色革命」后制订），并在10天内成立临时政府。该协议还包括在九月前完成宪法改革，以限制在十二月前的总统和总统选举的权力。
不过，现在面对的压力，要立即撤销亲俄的总统的职务。这就是示威者留在迈丹广场的原因，虽然协议订明当局要拆除路障，以及为期三个月的停止示威活动。抗议行动已成为全球新闻。
双方订立协议之后，国会随即在昨天投票，支持重新恢复2004年的宪法，特赦被控使用暴力的示威者，以及修订一条法律，可能会容许季莫申科获释放。她是亚努科维奇的对手，因「滥用权力」被关闸在监狱。
协议是得到欧洲联盟的支持下签署，美国和俄罗斯也希望参与，以监察双方遵守协议内容。
连日来，当地局势的紧张气氛已经达到顶点，至少77人丧生，包括示威者和警察。
艺术家奥利也（Olesya Drashkaba）在示威者的博客上发表她的反省文章，以下是翻译该文的全文：
"No normal person can remain indifferent to what's happening in my
Ukraine! All of these beautiful faces of the murdered (you deliberately shoot
the most beautiful, you dogs!). All of this blood, the explosions and gunfire.
All this is terrible! Terrible! I weep over every drop of spilled blood!
BUT I would say that right now, right next to all of this death, I see
so much life!
The toughest young supporters, who sit atop the barricades with such
grace, managing to even strut a little... this is life!
Girls usually decked out in the latest fashions, as if they had stepped
straight off the catwalk, on the front line in treating the wounded ... this is
life!
The "fearsome" grannies, braver than the entire army all
together (with all due respect to the latter! Moreover, the army should have a
battalion of grannies it could learn a lot) who are out their shrouded by gases
without any masks (and don't dare offer them yours they won't accept!) why?
Because they are doing it precisely so "you young people can live
better" ... this is life!
Heroic doctors, with their exhausted faces, who closely monitor your meds,
to not accidentally take something that you have already and can be of use to
other doctors ... this is life!
Women who buy medicines at 8 euro per pack (note: in Ukraine the average
salary is 200 euro per month) and press on the pharmacist to hurry so they can
return " before they start again" ... this is life!
The "sex symbol" of Maidan, those we have named the
"Right flank", and to whom we turn in the most difficult moments for
their military organization ("Does anyone know what the right flank does? ),
Who are SO happy when we bring them chocolates .... this is life!
Housewives who distribute home cooked meals, apologizing for having
brought so "little" ... this is life!
The people in the tents (note: there is always someone sleeping in the
streets to guard the barricades) , who ask you not to bring anything, but only
"to visit them for a chat" and then you learn that when they are not
on Maidan, these are people who go to the theater in the evening and are well
cultured ... this is Life
The people from cities around Kiev, and who could simply say "what
do we care!", but who with their sticks block the berkut buses (note:
armed police) ... this is life!
The grandparents, who throw themselves on the berkut so they "will
not take out the younger" ... this is life!
That extraordinary stuntman who saved so many people from the burning
Union building awaiting the arrival of the firemen, and the people who saw him
come out, shouting "Bravo" : This is a NEW, GREAT, INCOMPREHENSIBLE
AND BEAUTIFUL LIFE !
There are people who see fascism in our patriotism (and many journalists
favor this point of view), or think that nothing will change, or justify their
fears ( I understand them: we are afraid too, here in the square) who say
"they will deceive everyone anyway" (it may be so, but so what?!?!?)
. But all this is not about what I've written, this is not Life.
Today in Maidan Square and throughout Ukraine there is only Life and
Death, Good and Evil. Anything else is superfluous, it is the ranting of people
talking of themselves to themselves.
I hope all of us LIVE! All of us: to LIVE!! To do this we only need to
recognize reality, understand that reality is VERY close! I apologize for
sounding somewhat dramatic but in this situation, as our EX President said, we
all find ourselves being a little "romantic".
