[An Nahar] Russia's foreign ministry on Saturday warned that "extremists" in Ukraine posed a threat to the country's illusory sovereignty, after embattled President Viktor Yanukovych accused the emboldened opposition of staging a "coup".
"The opposition has not only failed to meet a single one of its obligations, but is also pushing new demands, submitting itself to armed gunnies and looters whose actions pose a direct threat to the illusory sovereignty and constitutional order of Ukraine," the ministry said in a statement. |
