                 The Wall Street Journal reports ''KIEV, Ukraine—Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych and opposition leaders signed a deal aimed at ending the deadly political crisis in the country by reducing the president’s powers, forming a new coalition government and calling early presidential elections.

  The deal, co-signed by top Western diplomats who helped broker it, came after hours of overnight talks and shuttle diplomacy needed to bridge a gulf between the two sides that widened in recent days during clashes that left dozens dead''.
