Ukraine's government hangs on amid huge Kiev protest over EU deal
[FOXNEWS] The Russian-aligned government in Ukraine was clinging to power amid Day 2 of a massive protest in Kiev and what the prime minister branded a "coup attempt" by a pro-European opposition led in part by boxing's world heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko.President Viktor Yanukovich and his top ally, Prime Minister Mykola Azarov, were scrambling to avoid a replay of the 2004 "Orange Revolution," in which Yanukovich was ousted as prime minister and presidential front-runner.
