Thousands of Ukrainians on Sunday transformed Kiev's Independence Square into a shrine to commemorate the protesters who died for the ouster of President Viktor Yanukovich. They lit candles and laid flowers against the cobblestones and bricks that protesters had stockpiled as weapons against the police. More than 80 people were killed in gun battles with Ukraine's security forces. Yanukovich was ousted on Saturday, the day after he signed a peace deal with protesters. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry on Sunday opponents of Yanukovich had failed to abide by that deal and had seized power, the ministry said. Lavrov told Kerry "the most important thing now is to provide for the complete fulfillment" of the agreement brokered by three top European Union diplomats.
