Ukraine opposition boss offered prime minister's job

Ukraine’s embattled president has offered to make a top opposition leader the prime minister, but it is unclear whether the overture will mollify the radical faction of protesters who have clashed with police for much of the last week.

A statement on President Viktor Yanukovych’s website said he had offered the country’s second-highest job to Arseniy Yatsenyuk, an ex-foreign minister who had led efforts to integrate Ukraine with the European Union.
