Vitaly hero - nah..) once Vitaly will become president, his people won't stop. most likely southern/eastern cities will join Russia.

Correct. He is simply trying to basically find a solution for himself which would still allow him to cling onto power till the election next year while somewhat satisfying the opposition and the people enough to stop the rioting. Unfortunately for him, no dice - he doesn't seem to understand that he has dug his hole, now there's no place for him to go but into that hole.

By the way, you guys should read this interesting article about the special riot police, one can imagine Vitali Klitschko's alter ego in another life could have made a perfect candidate!

"Chances of employment with Berkut increase if the applicant is an athlete with a proven track record, the media report."

From the description, and the fact that the Berkut members bypass their natural "chain of command" it would seem that they are the government's "hit-men". Something like the **** SS.

I don't see that the EU or the US will take much interest in the situation there, at least, not enough to take concrete and efficient steps to support democracy there. They are too busy manipulating boycotts against Israel whenever someone there builds an extra room onto his house.

It looks as if the citizens of Ukraine will have to persevere, and i hope that nobody takes a shot at Klitschko. He's too big a target to miss.

Vitali will go to any length to avoid David Haye it seems.

Made me chuckle honestly.

Moscow eh...seems to have done a number on you. Sad that someone who has very good English, access to the internet, is a young man, can still have such twisted views...

Enjoy your stay in Moscow, clearly the place to be. Enjoy living under that rotten rule, fighting the evil west with their gay rights, high standard of living, 24/7 running water and indoor plumbing...oh and keep getting informed by the great independent Russian media. Slava Savku.

Germany calls for sanctions against Yanukovich (Feb 4):

The German foreign minister, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, has said sanctions should be used as a threat against Ukraine's government unless it finds a political solution to its long-running dispute with the opposition.

The Social ******** minister's comments strike a different tone from the line taken so far by Chancellor Angela Merkel, who last week ruled out imminent sanctions.

"I think we must now show sanctions as a threat," Steinmeier told Germany's ARD television late on Monday, adding that Germany had to be ready to act if the situation did not improve.

Ukraine has been hit by more than two months of unrest following a decision by President Viktor Yanukovich not to pursue trade and other deals with the European Union. Ukraine is now in a tug-of war between Russia and the west.

The US and EU are in preliminary discussions about possible financial assistance for Ukraine once a new government is formed, a state department spokeswoman said on Monday.

Opposition leader and former boxer Vitali Klitschko visited New York earlier this week, he said, to draw attention to the political crisis in the former Soviet republic.

"I just want to spread the word and say what is going on in the Ukraine and point out that we do have an issue that unfortunately could become a civil war, and much more people could die," Klitschko told the Associated Press in an interview on Monday. "And we could lose another country, the Ukraine, to dictatorship."

The only way out, said Klitschko is for the government to resign and for early parliamentary elections to be held.

"I'm worried for the safety of everybody, including my brother," Klitschko said. "This is not a joke. It's serious. It's about life and death."

He added: "It's critical, and the situation can change in the blink of an eye."
