"There is no turning
back, we have reached the point of no return," protester Sergey Vysotsky
told CNN. "Now the whole future is in the hands of those people," the
demonstrators.
What started out late
last month as demonstrations against Yanukovich's decision not to sign a
landmark trade deal with the European Union has ballooned into
something much larger. Demonstrators say they will stop at nothing short
of new parliamentary and presidential elections.
"This is not a protest.
This is a revolution," protest leader Yuri Lutsenko, told a crowd of
thousands who packed Independence Square .
"Revolution! Revolution!" the crowd chanted.
