LONDON, February 21. /ITAR-TASS/. Ukrainian opposition leader Vitali Klitschko said on Friday that the opposition would sign an EU-brokered deal to end a deadly standoff with President Viktor Yanukovich, but first further talks were needed with protesters, Reuters reported.

"We will sign the deal," the German newspaper Bild quoted him as saying.

"We are prepared to do everything to obtain a peaceful solution. I told the German foreign minister I would personally appeal to protesters before signing.

"All arguments must be considered before it comes to a signature," he added.
