Protesters are hanging in!

  Sorry, I was away for a few days and without any access to decent news coverage.  However, very few news channels are covering the situation with any indepth coverage and the situation is not very clear. 
The protesters remain unmoved, but it appears that there is an effort to cause confusion in their ranks by some unofficial business representatives claiming to have held meetings with government officials and supposedly  coming to some agreement.  Yanukovich is also trying to deflate the protests by delaying any action and hoping that due to the weather,  false rumors and time, the protesters will lose steam and disappear.
 He has once again snubbed them by postponing his decision, claiming to be waiting for his experts to analize the new law, and only after that was he to respond to their demands. Unfortunately, on the day he was to meet with the protesters, he instead decided to arrange a new gas deal with Moscow. He returned to Kyiv with no new deal and it's anyone's guess as to what was  actually discussed.
