KIEV, Ukraine (CNN) -- Opposition officials say they have cut off negotiations with Ukraine's government aimed at settling the country's bitter and divisive presidential election dispute.
he behind-the-scenes talks had been progressing alongside parliamentary debates and the Supreme Court's consideration of opposition leader Viktor Yushchenko's charges that voting irregularities cost him victory in his contest with Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych.
The crisis has brought hundreds of thousands of demonstrators to Kiev, where Yushchenko supporters have blocked government buildings for several days.
Opposition leaders said Tuesday they would not end those demonstrations until its demands are met.
The demands are:
# The government must admit that the election results were falsified.
# Yanukovych's government and the Central Election Commission must step down.
# Some action must be taken against three regional governors who threatened to take steps toward autonomy in the wake of the dispute.
# Interior Minister Nikolai Bilokon, who they believe was part of the effort to manipulate the election, must be fired.
