Ukrainian opposition leaders are due to meet President Viktor Yanukovych, a day after the first deaths in the protests that have gripped Kiev for two months.
One of them, former boxer Vitali Klitschko, has said he will lead pro-EU protesters "on the attack" if snap elections are not called.
Mr Yanukovych has asked the speaker of parliament to hold an emergency session to discuss the crisis.
Two activists were killed in clashes with police in Kiev on Wednesday.

The crisis in Syria is big news here at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
Peace talks are taking place in Geneva, and I suspect that the situation is being discussed in detail by world leaders at Davos in some of the one-on-one meetings in hotel rooms that you never hear about.
If there is to be a solution in Syria any time soon, it will probably be found in Switzerland.

Birmingham-based chocolate maker Cadbury has announced a £75m investment in its Bournville headquarters.
The money will be released over three years and is expected to secure the future of the site.
A spokesman said the investment would bring four new production lines to the Bournville plant, which opened in 1879.
The Unite trade union said it was unclear what effect it would have on jobs, but that it would allow the plant to compete with its rivals.
The business was taken over by American food giant Kraft in 2010.

A surge in cases of the deadly new strain of bird flu has been reported in China at the beginning of 2014.
Only a handful of people had been infected with H7N9 since June, but health officials have reported 63 cases so far this month.
Influenza researchers argue the winter season and preparations for Chinese New Year may be driving the increase.
The World Health Organization called for vigilance, saying the virus was likely to remain present for some time.
H7N9 made the jump from infecting domestic chickens and ducks to infecting people at the end of March 2013.
Within a month, 126 cases and 24 deaths had been recorded.

Japan's Toyota has kept its position as the world's largest carmaker by sales.
Toyota sold 9.98 million vehicles during 2013, which was 270,000 more than its closest rival - US car giant General Motors.
Sales were up 2% from the year before and Toyota also announced plans to sell 10.32 million vehicles in 2014.
Toyota has managed to revive its fortunes after the damage caused to Japanese industrial production by the 2011 tsunami.
The tsunami and earthquake in 2011 caused widespread devastation in the north east of Japan and affected car suppliers and production.
Toyota has also suffered from reputational issues after a series of recalls and safety issues. Since 2009, more than 14 million vehicles have been recalled in the US following several faults including sticky pedals and brake problems.

Two of Vincent van Gogh’s iconic Sunflower paintings are shown together for the first time since the 1960s. The masterpieces belong to the series of five – now spread across the world in Tokyo, Philadelphia and Munich, painted in 1888. This was also the year the painter left Paris and headed to the South of France. He was soon joined by Paul Gaugin, but it ended badly, when van Gogh famously had a nervous breakdown and cut off his own ear.

However, these aren’t the first claims that have circulated. Over the past 12 years, a number of allegations have been made in reference to the Obamas’ marriage. Two written books have also made attempts to dig for information about the Obama marriage. In 2009, Washington reporter Richard Wolffe made a claim that the couple’s marriage almost fell apart nine years prior due to President Obama’s political aspirations.
“There was little conversation and even less romance. She was angry at his selfishness and careerism; he thought she was cold and ungrateful,” wrote Wolffe.
In 2012, another claim was made by political writer Edward Klein, who claims that President Obama had become depressed due to their “ailing marriage”.
