Ukraine's opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko has hailed demonstrators as "heroes" in an emotional speech in Kiev after she was released from jail. It comes after the country's President Viktor Yanukovich abandoned the capital to the opposition on Saturday and denounced what he described as a coup after several days of bloodshed this week that claimed 82 lives. His precise whereabouts on Sunday were still unknown. But residents in the eastern town of Donetsk, his stronghold, said that security had been reinforced along the main approach road to his private home in the town, suggesting he might be there. Supporters cheered former prime minister Tymoshenko as she left the hospital where she had been held. Her release marks a radical transformation in the former Soviet republic of 46 million people. Removal of the pro-Russian Yanukovich should pull Ukraine away from Moscow's orbit and closer to Europe. Setting herself immediately on a collision course with Moscow, Tymoshenko said she was sure her country would join the European Union in the near future. Report by Jennifer Cordingley.
