Batkivschyna faction leader Arseniy Yatseniuk has said that Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych is planning to attend on Friday another roundtable meeting to resolve the situation in the country.

"Today, we heard from [Parliament Speaker Volodymyr] Rybak that Viktor Yanukovych allegedly wants to participate in a roundtable tomorrow. We believe that such a roundtable could be held if the law on the release of peaceful protesters is voted for in parliament and signed today," he said at a briefing on Thursday.
