Ukraine
Ukraine has a new coalition government after parliament voted for a pro-EU cabinet. The chamber backed the appointment of Arseniy Yatsenyuk as interim prime minister by a record 371 votes.

The new leader outlined his programme to the house: “The key task for the Ukrainian government is European integration. It means a visa-free regime for Ukraine citizens and it means an agreement with the European Union on political and economic integration. It also means agreement on a fully-fledged free trade zone. The future of Ukraine is in Europe and Ukraine will become a member of the European Union.”

Politicians have been trying to stabilise the country after months of violence. Former President Yanukovych has fled the country and Ukrainian authorities issued an arrest warrant for him over his alleged role in the killing of protesters by security forces.

A presidential election campaign has already started with opposition leader Vitaly Klitschko announcing that he is running for president. Elections are due to be held on 25 May.

Meanwhile, in the Ukraine's Crimea peninsula men seized the regional government headquarters and parliament on 27 February and raised the Russian flag in a challenge to the country's new rulers. Parliament has voted a proposal to hold a referendum on autonomy on 16 March.
