时间:2019-02-02 作者:英语课 分类:CCTV9英语新闻2014年01月
Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich has called for an emergency session of parliament next Tuesday, as escalating 1 anti-government protests grip the country.
Meanwhile, opposition 2 leaders have shown mixed responses after four-hour talks with President Viktor Yanukovych on Thursday evening. Oleh Tyahnybok asked demonstrators in Kiev for several more days of a truce 3, saying the president has agreed to ensure the release of dozens of detained protesters and stop further detentions 4.
Yet another opposition leader, former boxer 5 Vitali Klitschko has said negotiations 6 had achieved little. Interior Minister Vitali Zakharchenko has issued a statement, guaranteeing police would not take action against the large protest camp on Independence Square. On Wednesday evening, the opposition had given the government a 24-hour ultimatum 7 to meet their demands.
