After the retirement of ukrainian prime minister Nicolay Azarov and his cabinet, which according to the man himself, abandoned his charge to make a last attempt to peacefully resolve the current problem in Ukraine, the justice minister of the mentioned country Olena Lukash decided to bend on the anti-protest laws that had been going on since January 16 and also said that there will be given an amnesty for those rebels who seized the justice ministry (and then retired after Lukash threatened them to impose a state of emergency) as long as they cleared out "all seized premiers and roads".

To me this isn't really a victory for protesters because they still haven't really got what they've been asking this whole time, but at least the government looks like it's concerned enough about that rebellion that they are trying to avoid extreme measurements such as going into a state of emergency or becoming a dictatorship because that would only lead to massacres for both sides, leaving only death, despair and hatred towards each other. This, to me, is actually something that could give the protesters hope to see their goals fulfilled in a negotiation's table and not in a battlefield, so, I guess they'll just have to keep trying.
