Ukraine unrest
Ukrainian opposition supporters gather at a mass rally on Independence Square in Kiev, on December 15, 2013.

The ex-Soviet nation of 46 million has been at the heart of a furious diplomatic tug of war since President Viktor Yanukovych's surprise decision last month to ditch a landmark EU agreement and seek closer ties with historic master Russia.
