Washington Post: Ukraine’s protests should end with negotiated settlement
UKRAINE ON Monday appeared to be teetering between a violent government crackdown and the political negotiations that are the only solution to its ongoing crisis. While President Viktor Yanukovych said he would take up an offer by three former Ukrainian presidents to negotiate an end to his standoff with a mass protest movement, he also dispatched riot police to confront encampments in the center of Kiev, the capital, and security forces to raid the headquarters of the main opposition party.
