Ukraine Leader Denounces Coup Bid, West Weighs Sanctions

(Reuters) - Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich accused pro-European
opposition leaders on Wednesday of trying to seize power by force after at
least 26 people died in the worst violence since the former Soviet
republic gained independence.
.
European Union leaders said they were urgently preparing targeted
sanctions against those responsible for a crackdown on protesters who have
been occupying central Kiev for almost three months since Yanukovich
spurned a far-reaching trade deal with the EU and accepted a $15-billion
Russian bailout.
.
The sprawling nation of 46 million people with an ailing economy and
endemic corruption has become the object of a geopolitical tug-of-war
between Moscow and the West. That was played out in hand-to-hand fighting
through the night, lit by blazing barricades on Kiev's Independence
Square, or Maidan.
.
Russian President Vladimir Putin's spokesman insisted the Kremlin was
sticking to a policy of not intervening in Ukraine, although his point man
has called for action to crush the protests. The Kremlin said Putin and
Yanukovich spoke by telephone overnight, calling the events an attempted
coup.
.
Moscow announced the resumption of stalled aid to Kiev on Monday with a
$2-million cash injection hours before the crackdown began.
.
After a night of petrol bombs and gunfire on Independence Square, black
smoke billowed from a burned out trade union building that protest
organisers had used as a headquarters.
.
Security forces occupied about a third of the square - the part which lies
closes to government offices and parliament - with protesters pouring in
to reinforce their defences on the remainder of a plaza they have dubbed
"Euro-Maidan".
.
In a statement posted online in the early hours, Yanukovich said he had
refrained from using force since unrest began but was being pressed by
"advisers" to take a harder line.
.
"Without any mandate from the people, illegally and in breach of the
constitution of Ukraine, these politicians - if I may use that term - have
resorted to pogroms, arson and murder to try to seize power," the
president said.
