<snip>
8 p.m., Jan. 25 -- Justice Minister Olena Lukash disclosed details of negotiations between President Viktor Yanukovych and the opposition, saying that Arseniy Yatseniuk, leader of the opposition Batkivshchyna Party led by imprisoned ex-Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, has been offered the post of prime minister.

Vitali Klitschko, leader of the opposition UDAR (PUNCH) party, was offered the job of vice prime minister on humanitarian issues, Lukash said, according to news on the presidential website.

Yanukovych also invited Klitschko, who will challenge Yanukovych's re-election in 2015, to take part in public debates, Lukash said, adding that Klitschko agreed. She said the talks found "agreement on both sides,” Lukash said.

However, the opposition leaders have not yet commented. -- Oksana Grytsenko
