The Ukrainian government and opposition leaders reached a truce this evening after a day of deadly clashes between police and protestors in the countrys capital. The Wall Street Journal reports that President Viktor Yanukovych also promised that police would not storm Independence Square, where protests have been focused for the past several months. Yesterday, police threatened to evict protestors from the square but ultimately entered into a standoff as opposition leaders and Yanukovych entered talks. The European Union strongly deplores the human rights situation.
