VOICED : Presidente de Ucrania tomara baja medica

During a significant crisis, President Yanukóvych announced a medical leave due to a respiratory illness. He accused Ukrainian opposition of irresponsibility while promising to consider public demands. An amnesty law for detained protesters was rejected by the opposition due to conditions requiring the evacuation of central Kiev. The protest movement began after Yanukóvych chose closer ties with Russia over an EU agreement, receiving financial aid and gas price reductions from Russia. This crisis is the most severe since Ukraine's 1991 independence.
