The above was posted to youtube. Its a conversation between US diplomats about the negotiations and US involvement with the opposition leaders. The US seems to be playing a very big role. We'll see how well that goes after Klitschko et al hear. This bugging was probably done by the Russians.
The Russians have started getting even more belligerent. They are threatening military intervention. Their pretext is the "Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances" from 1994. Their argument is that the Memorandum states Russia and America are the guarantee-rs of Ukraine's sovereignty. If its threatened, Russia argues, then they have the right to intervene. The Euromaidan is threatening Ukraine in that sense, they continue. Flipside of that argument is that the USA has the right to intervene as well.
They have also called Ukraine a 'failed state' and started getting nasty to both Euromaidan and Yanukovich.
There was an explosion in the Union Building is being called a bombing. Two young men were hurt. Supposedly explosives were also planted at Ukrainian House.
Yanukovich has gone to Sochi where he is expected to meet with Putin. He also announced that the only way to deal with the Euromaidan is through compromise, not force.
Ukraine is threatening to be late in its payments to Gasprom. Not good that.
A fire broke out in a building near the barricades in Kyiv. It was extinguished. Both sides blamed the other.
Finally, there are supposed to be multiple Constitutional bills being drafted to be considered next week. There are claims though this won't happen until September. The EU seems to be involved with this.
