Daily life in Maidan
Anti-government protester stand on a barricade in Kiev on February 12, 2014. Russia will release the next instalment of its $15-billion loan to Ukraine at the end of the month, a newspaper close to President Viktor Yanukovych said on February 10, following talks between Ukraine's leader and his Russian counterpart. The US House of Representatives on February 10 passed a resolution in support of the people of Ukraine, urging all parties in the former Soviet state to work for peace. The ex-Soviet nation has been in chaos since November 2013 when Yanukovych ditched a historic EU trade and political pact in favor of closer ties with Moscow, stunning pro-EU parts of the population and sparking violent protests.
