The foreign ministers of Germany and Poland, Frank-Walter Steinmeier and Radoslaw Sikorski, plan to hold another meeting with Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych on Friday to discuss possible solutions to the country's political crisis.

The head of the European Union Delegation to Ukraine, Jan Tombinski, said in response to a question from Interfax-Ukraine that the negotiations continued and the ministers planned to hold one more meeting with Yanukovych before lunchtime.

The latest round of talks between the Ukrainian president and the foreign ministers continued for nine hours, ending at 0730 on Friday, an Interfax-Ukraine correspondent said.

The German and Polish foreign ministers refused to answer reporters' questions after they emerged from the Ukrainian presidential administration headquarters.

Ukraine's opposition leaders - Arseniy Yatseniuk (Batkivschyna), Oleh Tiahnybok (Svoboda) and Vitali Klitschko (UDAR) - left the presidential administration building through the back entrance in order to avoid the press.
