About civil confrontation

With the primary blame for this rests with us the current government led by President Viktor Yanukovych and the parliamentary majority of the deputies from the Party of Regions and the Communist Party, decisions and actions lately are mostly destabilizing, and in places provocative.
About attacks on journalists in Kiev
International Committee for the Protection of press freedom and journalists’ rights very surprised by the fact the lack of visible progress in the investigation of numerous cases of Ukrainian authorities targeted attacks on journalists by police in central Kiev, November 30, 2013 and December 1, 2013. Despite the fact that the perpetrators are well known and do not hide from justice.
About the situation in Kiev
Committee of Ukrainian citizens fully shared the view of the protest in Kiev regarding the fallacy of President Viktor Yanukovych refusal to sign an association agreement with the European Union in Vilnius and the need to punish the perpetrators of carnage on the Maidan on Saturday morning.
About association with the European Union
The Committee of Ukrainian citizens considers the forthcoming signing in Vilnius association agreement between Ukraine and the European Union as an important and necessary step towards the return of Ukraine to the European family of nations. The conclusion of this agreement will mean that Ukraine has chosen a civilized way to further their development prospects and refused to return to the savagery of the Soviet Union, which is now trying to restore Russia under the guise of the Customs Union.
