we are now going to dwgo to radoslaw sikorski, the foreign minister of poland. was one of three who brokered peace deals. it is not entirely -- as the deal was wrapped up television cameras picked up exchange between sikorski and the leaders of the opposition leader. he said if you do not support this deal you will all be dead. were you surprised by the turn of events? clear ely your great fear when talking to opposition leaders was that yanukovych was going to bring out the army and start firing on the troops. >> hello. yes, that was a very tense moment. i think if the opposition hadn't supported the deal yanukovych's hand would have been strengthened and maybe his security operations would not have disintegrated. and then what happened was something really strange. within minutes of us signing the agreement the protection, the security forces, started leaving the vicinity of the presidential palace which they didn't need to do. and the decompression of the regime started very quickly. >> you have seen this up close in poland. you have seen it in other places.
