February 27, 2014
Arseniy Yatsenyuk, one of those who led the protests that rocked Ukraine, was today picked to head up the government of the crisis-hit country until presidential elections are held in May.
The pro-EU former foreign minister's nomination was announced in front of tens of thousands of people on Kiev's Independence Square, the epicentre of three months of protest that culminated in the ouster of President Viktor Yanukovych, along with an entirely new cabinet.
