Dear compatriots!

 

In these tragic days when Ukraine suffered such a heavy losses, when people died on both sides of the fence, it is my duty to light the memory of the victims claim said that there is nothing more important on a human life. And there is no such steps that we all would not have been done to restore peace in Ukraine.

I will announce steps to be done to restore calm and avoid further victims of the confrontation.

I declare that I initiate early presidential elections.

I also initiate a return to the to the Constitution of Ukraine of 2004 with the redistribution of authority toward a parliamentary republic.

I call to the procedure of forming the government of the national trust.

As the President of Ukraine and the Guarantor of the Constitution today I do my duty to the people, to Ukraine and the Lord, in the name of the State, in the name of saving the lives of people, in the name of peace and tranquility in our land.

 

Viktor Yanukovych
