Ukrainian PM Says Protesters Launching Coup

Hyperbole by pro-Russia Prime Minister Mykola Azarov as protests get violent in the streets of the capital.

"All those who support this coup should say clearly, 'Yes, we are for the overthrow of the legitimate authorities in Ukraine', and not hide behind peaceful protesters."

He was quoted as saying the unrest, in which three people on the side of the protesters have been killed, made it "absolutely unrealistic" to held an early presidential vote. The next presidential vote is to be held in spring 2015.
