Ukraine's Tymoshenko speaks to protesters

Ukrainian opposition icon and former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko has arrived at a Kiev protest camp after being released from a hospital where she was incarcerated.

 

Tymoshenko, heroine of the 2004 Orange Revolution, is the chief rival of President Viktor Yanukovych. His rule is crumbling after protesters took control of the capital Saturday and parliament voted to remove him from power. "You are heroes, you are the best thing in Ukraine!" she said of those killed in the violence, looking tired and speaking from a wheelchair as she addressed the euphoric crowd. (AP)
