Lviv-ukraine

KIEV, UKRAINE — President Viktor Yanukovych on Thursday faced a growing challenge to his leadership as anti-government protesters captured regional government buildings across western Ukraine while he held crisis talks in Kiev with opposition leaders.

Protesters stormed offices in the cities of Khmelnytsky, Rivne, Ternopil and Lviv, where they forced the regional governor, Oleh Salo, to pen a letter of resignation. A presidential appointee, Salo later reneged on his agreement to step down, saying he was forced to tender the resignation.
