Arutz Sheva: Former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko was received on Saturday night by thousands of opposition supporters in central Kiev after being freed from detention, the BBC reports.
She has suffered from a back injury and addressed them from her wheelchair.
"You are heroes," she told the crowd on Independence Square, the focus of protests against President Viktor Yanukovych, and broke down in tears.
The speech came at the end of a dramatic day, with the president fleeing Kiev but refusing to quit.
Tymoshenko warned that the protesters should not think their job was done. "Until you finish this job and until we travel all the way, nobody has the right to leave," she said, according to the BBC. "Because nobody could do it - not other countries, nobody - could do what you have done. We've eliminated this cancer, this tumor."
