ASHOCKING explosion of bloodshed in the center of Europe — Ukraine’s capital, Kiev — gave way Friday to a fragile accord that may be the last chance to prevent civil war in a nation of 48 million people . Thanks to marathon mediation by the Polish, German and French foreign ministers, Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych and three opposition leaders agreed on a pact mandating early elections, constitutional reforms and a new coalition government.
Reported by Washington Post 18 minutes ago.
