Ousted leader Viktor Yanukovych's main supporter says the crisis is a "threat" as the US prepares to give Kiev financial aid.
新聞背景：
烏克蘭完成歷史性的權力更迭后，新的烏克蘭領導層以屠殺罪向被推翻的前總統亞努科維奇發布了逮捕令。烏克蘭新政府毫不妥協的立場在國際上引起對該國能否 維護國家團結的擔憂。俄羅斯本周一對烏克蘭新政府的合法性表示懷疑，并且警告其不要采取"獨裁"和"恐怖"手段。俄羅斯總理梅德韋杰夫表示，"如果那些戴黑色面罩，持沖鋒槍的人被認為是政府，那么我們很難和這樣的政府打交道。"
針對可能出現的俄羅斯軍事介入烏克蘭局勢的情況，奧巴馬政府日前發出強硬警告，要求由烏克蘭民眾自己決定其國家的命運。
聯合國秘書長潘基文呼吁烏克蘭維護國家團結。在權力更迭后必須開始不把任何人排除在外的政治進程 烏克蘭急需政治新開端，必須維護該國的國家團結和領土完整。潘基文還呼吁各方遵循民主原則、尊重人權，為即將進行的選舉創造一個適當的環境。
歐洲安全與合作組織（OSZE）建議成立一個烏克蘭聯系小組，對該國的政治過渡期提供支持，協調國際援助。因局勢發展朝著對烏克蘭親歐盟派有利的方向走，以英國為首的歐盟國家紛紛提出向烏克蘭提供巨額經濟援助。

The foot soldiers here are still on the march, applauded as he was in the street. The battle has not yet won. The same prayers for their friends with that man who died here. They feel this revolution is theirs.
The shields are still by the barricades. The defenses still ready to go. In the street where bullied past clean this landpost. There's no pausing for photos. No one has forgotten what happened here. Priests are singing him on the main stage. There is a sense of collective grief. An row of candles through the independence square. They spelled our glory to the heros in flowers. They believe these people gave their lives for this country, they are singing the national anthem in their name. A little boy was too young to understand what's happening and who died for his future. A warrant has been issued for president's arrest. Last scene in the southern Ukrain, no one did the murder of his own people. They said he must be held to recoat.
It's a remarkable situation when the most sought-after characture in the country is the president of Ukrain, who is highly in doing everything to leave the country to avoid responsiblities. hasn't arrived in Kiev today to discuss the EU's response, but all allies are not turning to Moscow. The real question now is how Russia's response, what Putin does next? Whether he is prepared to let all this what he sees as a part of his empire to slip peacefully from his grasp. On stands the statue of Motherland and monument to the Soviet past, the question no whether Russia is prepared to fight for her future.
