I regret that I have had no contact with the outside world until today and I could not express my attitude to the last proposals of the Ukrainian authorities regarding the settlement of the crises.
I appeal to the leaders of the opposition to strongly reject the government’s humiliating offer.
The people of Ukraine have gone into the Maidans not for the leaders of the opposition to get the positions in the government and even not for the dictatorial laws to be repealed. People want fundamental changes in their lives, justice in Ukraine and a path to European values. This is the last chance they have.
Politicians have not realised that people are ready to achieve their aims at the costs of their lives, health and physical freedom.
I understand their aspirations and fully support them.
The crises can be resolved only in case when all people’s demands are met by all the politicians.
My dear Ukrainians! You are the best and the most precious in the world. Do not be afraid of anything, the key of your victory is the increase of your power on all Maidans of Ukraine.
I beg you, please go on, do not stop and do not decrease the strength of your jolt against this government. If you stop even for a minute, the country will immediately be taken hostage by tyranny for many years.
Today only you can protect all generations of Ukrainians.
I am always with you and always for you.
