Konstantin Zatulin: "Ukrainian opposition changes tactics"

The director of the CIS Institute, political scientist Konstantin Zatulin, told us about the change of tactics of the Ukrainian opposition. The protests in Ukraine that started out peacefully at the end of November 2013, in response to the suspension of the signing of an association agreement with the EU, have long grown into a violent confrontation involving extremists on the side of the opposition, leading their own political game. The opposition doesn't cease to demand more and more concessions from the government, but every time says it's not enough, thereby encouraging the protesters to radicalize, pandering to anarchy and disorder. Europe and the U.S., in words urging Ukrainians to dialogue and peaceful resolution of the conflict, in fact plunge the country into more chaos, which they would never have allowed in their countries and would prevent with everything but those "democratic" methods, which they want Ukraine to use.
