UKRAINE-UNREST-EU-RUSSIA-TYMOSHENKO

Newly freed Ukrainian opposition icon Yulia Tymoshenko speaks to the press after arriving in Kiev on February 22, 2014. Ukraine's opposition leader and former premier Yulia Tymoshenko, sentenced to a seven-year jail term in 2011 for abuse of power, was released on February 22. Tymoshenko received a rapturous welcome on Independence Square. "You are heroes, you are the best of Ukraine," she told the 50,000-strong crowd before breaking down in tears. The latest developments in the ex-Soviet nation's three-month political crisis came after protesters took control of Kiev's charred city centre and seized Yanukovych's lavish residence on a day of dramatic twists and turns.
