(25 Feb 2014) Deputy Secretary of State William Burns met political figures at Ukraine's Parliament on Tuesday, as part of a series of meetings senior US officials are taking part of in Kiev.
Burns, Treasury Secretary Jack Lew and other US officials are scheduled to meet with political, business and civil society leaders over next two days.
The administration of US president Barack Obama signalled on Monday that it no longer recognises Viktor Yanukovych as Ukraine's president.
The shift of support for opposition leaders in Kiev came even as US officials sought to assure Russia that it does not have to be shut out of a future relationship with a new Ukrainian government.
Yanukovych was widely seen as a puppet of Moscow acting against Ukraine protesters who demanded stronger ties with the European Union to boost the faltering economy of the onetime Soviet republic.
His whereabouts were unknown after he fled the capital Kiev in the wake of deadly protests.
