Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich has called for an emergency session of parliament next Tuesday, as escalating¹ anti-government protests grip the country.

Meanwhile, opposition² leaders have shown mixed responses after four-hour talks with President Viktor Yanukovych on Thursday evening. Oleh Tyahnybok asked demonstrators in Kiev for several more days of a truce³, saying the president has agreed to ensure the release of dozens of detained protesters and stop further detentions⁴.

Yet another opposition leader, former boxer⁵ Vitali Klitschko has said negotiations⁶ had achieved little. Interior Minister Vitali Zakharchenko has issued a statement, guaranteeing police would not take action against the large protest camp on Independence Square. On Wednesday evening, the opposition had given the government a 24-hour ultimatum⁷ to meet their demands.
