Ukraine's President Viktor Yanukovych says he has agreed a truce with opposition leaders, after at least 26 people died in clashes this week.

In a statement, he said "negotiations" would now start to end the bloodshed of the last two days.

The BBC's Jonathan Bithrey spoke to the opposition leader Vitali Klitschko in Kiev and asked him what his reaction was to the announcement on a truce.
