The Ukrainian parliament has voted overwhelmingly to annul controversial anti-protest legislation.
The decision comes less than two weeks after the measures were introduced.
The law, which banned the wearing of helmets by protesters and the blockading of public buildings, had helped fuel continuing anti-government demonstrations.
In another move to appease the protesters, Ukraine's Prime Minister Mykola Azarov has offered to quit.
In a statement, he said the offer of his resignation to President Viktor Yanukovych was intended to create "social and political compromise".
Parliament - holding an emergency debate on the crisis - voted by 361 to 2 to repeal the protest law.

Big news but I don't know if this will mollify the protesters now.
