ukraine. he said that the illegal change cannot be encouraged, but understands the wanting of change. he says that viktor yanukovych is still the legitimate president. gave updent yanukovych our company excepted everything the opposition demanded. accepted the idea of holding early parliamentary elections committee excepted a return to the 2004 prostitution. he responded positively to the withst we made it, along our european partners, not to resort to the instant force. the order tosue open fire on the protesters. and moreover, he gave the order for police forces to retreat from the capital. and they complied with that. for more analysis on what vladimir wooten had to say
