What's that supposed to accomplish? It's the parliament that passed the anti-protest laws and other bad laws the people didn't agree with. People want re-election, not just a different government under the same parliamentary structure.

The anti-protest laws have been repealed as well http://www.ctvnews.ca/world/ukrainian-parliament-repeals-ant...

I may be mistaken, but wasn't it originally President Yanukovych who did not agree to sign the EU Accords that launched these protests in the first place?

This may be a sign of progress, but I believe we may be celebrating the ouster of the wrong guy. (Please correct me if I'm wrong.)

You're right, and not many people in the opposition are celebrating "the victory" yet. Most still call for the immediate re-election, and discarding all the recent changes to the constitution.

For the record, the mass protests weren't triggered by any particular agreement, they started after the police beat the shit out of (not just dispersed) a group of students during a completely peaceful demonstration. They grew bigger after Yanukovich signed anti-protest laws.

What is the size of Ukraine in relation to the US? On a map, it seems like a huge country.

About the size of Texas with twice the population. So yes, it is a rather large country by European standards.

Perceval2• 12 years ago

Texas is about 15% bigger (because everything is bigger in Texas).

Perceval2• 12 years ago

A little bigger than Montana + Idaho.

It is the largest country that is entirely in Europe
