Russia decided to provide Ukraine with loans and cut price for gas supplies because Moscow sees Kiev as a brotherly nation in difficult situation, President Vladimir Putin said at his annual press conference on Thursday.
Ukrainian protestors, ignoring President Viktor Yanukovych's plan for round table talks, refused to leave the capital's streets and staged around-clock protests into Tuesday morning.
The mass demonstrations in the Ukrainian capital of Kiev are showing no signs of easing.
