EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton arrived Wednesday in Kiev to meet Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych. During the meeting the two sides will discuss effort to resolve a two-month crisis as lawmakers battled over a deal to curb the president’s powers, Euronews reported. Buoyed by support from Western dignitaries including the EU’s Ashton, the opposition has accused Yanukovych of dragging his feet over proposals to end the worst standoff in Ukraine’s history since the fall of the Soviet Union.
