乌克兰前方之路在何方?

Meanwhile the political landscape in Ukraine is quickly changing. There's already been a shuffle in parliamentary leadership, and of course, now the big question: will the president, Viktor Yanukovych, be able to hold on to power?

A fresh memorial for a country's fresh wounds. Locals bring flowers and candles to a square in Kiev, to remember those who died in this week's unprecedented confrontation. Looking back, but also ahead.

"Our country is in ruins. All of the money has been taken abroad by oligarchs. So we'll have to start from the beginning," pensioner Halyna Chumachenko said.

But the future is uncertain. Just days ago, Viktor Yanukovych ruled from his presidential compound, a compound he's now left.

"The first option is: he could sign a letter of resignation, as the protesters in the Maidan have demanded. The second option is that he could become the leader of the counter-protest that's now starting in Kharkov in Eastern Ukraine," political analyst Volodymyr Fesenko said.

The protesters in Kyiv wanted Yanukovych out. They may have succeeded. But what next?

"After this, the Maidan protesters have a very vague idea of what to do next. They want to see change. They want a more honest authority, and a more honest system and an improvement in quality of life. But they don't know how to achieve this,"  Fesenko said.

Which makes this situation quite tricky. The political landscape is quickly changing, and the opposition themselves aren't united. Each party will try to claim the momentum of the protestors. But keeping them hopeful will prove a challenge.

Most people are trying to stay optimistic.

"I believe Ukraine has every prospect, because we are hard-working people, and of course there is corruption, but there must be a way out of this," radio producer Ivan Zhezhera said.

A way out, yes. But WHICH way is still anyone's guess.
