BERLIN — U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said Friday that Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych has not yet made sufficient concessions to end his nation's political crisis.

Kerry spoke from Germany where he will meet with Ukrainian opposition leaders on the sidelines of an international security conference.

Yanukovych says his political opponents are escalating the crisis, unlike his own government, which he says has fulfilled its obligations to end the standoff by replacing the prime minister and granting a conditional amnesty for arrested protestors.
