In Ukraine, Protesters Warn They'll Go 'On The Attack'
Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych has less than 24 hours to agree to hold early elections and lift anti-protest laws or the tens of thousands of demonstrators who have been in the streets of Kiev for days will go "on the attack," a leader of the opposition says.
Vitali Klitschko, the heavyweight boxer who is a leading voice among the protesters, issued that warning Wednesday evening. According to the BBC:
"Mr. Klitschko said [President Viktor Yanukovych] could end the stand-off 'without bloodshed' by calling early elections, but that 'tomorrow, if the president does not respond ... then we will go on the attack,' to roars of approval from the crowd."
