KIEV // Ukraine’s parliament has voted to call early presidential elections for May 25.
The decision comes just hours after embattled President Viktor Yanukovich said he wouldn’t respect any decisions made by parliament.
Under an agreement reached Friday between Mr Yanukovich and leaders of the opposition protests that have brought Ukraine into crisis, early elections were to be held no later than December.
But the possibility that he could remain in office for the rest of the year angered protesters who want his immediate departure.
