Ex-President Warns Ukraine 'On Brink Of Civil War' -- BBC
Ukraine's first post-independence president has warned the country is on the "brink of civil war".
Leonid Kravchuk, president from 1991 to 1994, urged parliament to "act with the greatest responsibility" as it began a debate on an amnesty for detained protesters.
President Viktor Yanukovych wants any amnesty to be conditional on protesters leaving official buildings and dismantling barricades.
But protesters want him to resign.
The protests began in November after Mr Yanukovych reversed a decision to sign a long-awaited trade deal with the EU in favour of stronger ties with Russia.
At least five people have been killed and a number of government buildings across the country have been occupied. Hundreds of people remain on the streets of the capital, Kiev.
