Klitschko considers signing deal with Yanukovich

Ukraine opposition leader Vitaly Klitschko said on Friday that the opposition would sign an EU-brokered deal to end a deadly standoff with President Viktor Yanukovich, but first further talks were needed with protesters.

“We will sign the deal,” he said.

“We are prepared to do everything to obtain a peaceful solution. I told the German foreign minister I would personally appeal to protesters before signing. All arguments must be considered before it comes to a signature,” Klitschko added.
