The body of a kidnapped Ukrainian journalist who played an active role in protests that led to president Viktor Yanukovych's removal in February has been found in a forest 60 miles outside the capital, Kiev, authorities said today.

Ukraine’s parliament has offered amnesty to arrested protesters, but only if demonstrators vacate most of the buildings they occupy.

Ukraine President Viktor Yanukovych's party claimed victory in an election vote tainted by the jailing of the country's top opposition leader.
