Ukraine opposition calls mass rally demonstration

KIEV: Ukraine’s opposition has called another monster rally on Sunday against President Viktor Yanukovych’s rejection of a trade deal with the European Union (EU) as he ponders closer economic ties with Moscow.

Tension mounted in Kiev as authorities planned a rally of their own, bussing in thousands of Yanukovych supporters from the provinces, setting up a camp in a park not far from the opposition and vowing a “non-stop protest.”
