W460

Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych has cancelled a planned visit to Malta, his office said Friday, as opposition protests in Kiev showed no sign of abating.

"Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych has made a decision to postpone an official visit to the Republic of Malta planned for next week due to a need to focus his attention on domestic issues," his office said. Yanukovych had been scheduled to visit Malta on Monday and Tuesday, a source in the presidential administration told Agence France Presse separately.
