Russia has recalled its ambassador to Ukraine over what it described as the deteriorating1 situation in the country.
俄罗斯宣布召回驻乌克兰大使，因该国局势不断恶化。
Moscow has
condemned2 the removal of President Viktor Yanukovych, who was dismissed by MPs on Saturday.
Ukraine's newly appointed
interim3 president, Olexander Turchynov, says the country will now focus on closer
integration4 with the EU.
Mr Yanukovych's
rejection5 of an EU trade deal in favour of closer ties with Russia had triggered the unrest.
EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton is due to arrive in Kiev on Monday to discuss EU support "for a
lasting6 solution to the political crisis and measures to stabilise the economic situation".
US Secretary of State John Kerry has said the US strongly supports the Ukrainian parliament's vote to
impeach7 Mr Yanukovych and call elections, the central demand of months of protests.
On Sunday, he said the vote offered "the best and most
promising8 path forward to restore peace and stability", according to a statement.
Olexander Turchynov: "This fight gave us
unity9 and strength"
Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Ukraine's
opposition10 "had in effect seized power in Kiev, refused to
disarm11 and continued to place its bets on violence".
He accused them of
deviating12 from a political deal they signed with Mr Yanukovych on Friday, which aimed to end the protests after a week in which dozens of people were killed.
Russia said late on Sunday that it had recalled its ambassador to Ukraine, Mikhail Zurabov, for
consultations13.
The move was announced after Mr Turchynov, a close ally of former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, gave a televised address following his appointment as interim president.
