Ukraine Opposition Gives Yanukovych Warning as Currency Rattled - Bloomberg:
"Ukraine’s opposition warned President Viktor Yanukovych that the country is running out of time to solve its political crisis, while the hryvnia plunged to a five-year low against the dollar.
Vitali Klitschko, the head of the opposition UDAR party yesterday repeated demands for presidential elections or constitutional change as lawmakers continued a debate over legal changes. Acting Prime Minister Serhiy Arbuzov said a failure to compromise is weakening Ukraine.
The crisis was sparked when Yanukovych snubbed a co-operation pact with the European Union in favor of a $15 billion loan and a gas-price cut from Russia. Seven demonstrators died amid clashes last month as the opposition seized government buildings in Kiev and across the nation.
“We do not have time,” Klitschko said in a statement on his website. “Every day or every hour counts. We should not allow a new spiral of conflict.”"
