Ukraine's Parliament Repeals Anti-Protest Laws; PM Offers to Resign 
--------------------------------------------------------------------


 
Ukraine's parliament has voted to repeal a round of anti-dissent laws in
an effort to calm opposition protests that have gripped the country. The
measures are unlikely to appease protesters who have demanded the
resignation of President Viktor Yanukovych. Earlier today, Ukranian
Prime Minister Mykola Azarov offered to resign. Yanukovych had
previously offered Azarov's post to an opposition leader, who rejected
it.
