The Ukrainian police attempted to clear protesters from Kiev's Independence Square but were forced to retreat due to the arrival of more demonstrators. The protests, ongoing for two weeks, stem from the Ukrainian government's refusal to sign an association agreement with the EU, citing potential economic losses from a conflict with Moscow. The opposition accuses President Yanukovych of secretly planning to join Russia's customs union. Protesters demand his resignation. Prime Minister Mikola Asaro stated that Ukraine needs 20 billion euros to sign the EU agreement. US and EU representatives are in Kiev to mediate.
