KIEV (Reuters) - Organisers hope one million protesters will turn out in
Kiev on Sunday to pile more pressure on Ukraine's President Viktor
Yanukovich as he seeks closer ties with Russia after dumping a trade
pact with the European Union.
The rally will further heighten tension in the weeks-long standoff between the Yanukovich government and its opponents.
The
confrontation has raised fears for political and economic stability in
Ukraine, a sprawling ex-Soviet republic of 46 million people which
borders four EU countries and is the main transit route for Russian gas
to Europe.
"We want to send a message that we don't want to live
in a police state. We want to live in a modern state and we will achieve
this," said Vitaly Klitschko, an opposition leader who says Yanukovich
wants to turn the clock back to the Soviet past.
Klitschko, a
2-metre (6 foot 7-inch) tall world heavyweight boxing champion who is
increasingly viewed as a national leader-in-waiting, urged all
Ukrainians who back a European future for their country to join the
rally at 12 p.m.
"Our protest is peaceful but we will bring pressure to bear on this government so that our demands are met," he said.
Around
350,000 people joined a similar rally last Sunday, one day after riot
police beat protesters and journalists in a crackdown that drew
condemnation from Western governments.
Police have since threatened to eject protesters occupying public buildings, including Kiev's City Hall.
"BREAKUP OF COUNTRY"
Speculation
has swept Ukraine about whether Yanukovich, who met Russian President
Vladimir Putin in the Black Sea resort of Sochi on Friday, may be poised
to sign up to a Moscow-led customs union, slamming the door on any move
closer to the EU.
Moscow and Kiev both sought to play down the
speculation, saying the customs union was not even discussed in Sochi,
but they confirmed the two governments would meet on December 17.
"Any
signature to a deal on forming a new Soviet Union means the breakup of
the country," Arseny Yatsenyuk, a former economy minister now prominent
in the opposition, told reporters.
Yanukovich and Putin, who
regards Ukraine as strategically vital to Moscow's own interests, are
widely believed to have struck a bargain whereby Ukraine obtains cheaper
Russian gas and possibly credits in exchange for backing away from the
EU.
Ukraine sorely needs external help to meet looming gas bills
and debt repayments, but the protesters camped around braziers in Kiev's
central Independence Square, braving snow and sub-zero temperatures,
say their struggle is about more than money.
"We want our country
to be as civilised as the most advanced country in Europe. That means
real democracy and equal rights under the law," said Valentina Mysak,
58, who planned to attend Sunday's rally with her daughter and 20 others
from her native town of Obukhov, 50 km (30 miles) from Kiev.
