Rostislav Ishchenko: "Ukraine has the opportunity to resolve the conflict quasi-peacefully"

President of the Center for Systems Analysis and Forecasting Rostislav Ishchenko commented on the current situation in Ukraine. He said that the country now has the opportunity of a more or less peaceful resolution of the conflict. 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 at 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 it with everything but those "democratic" methods, which they want Ukraine to use.
