they are still hundreds of demonstrators who tried to get
Victor Janaka which to step down after a night of
violence on Tuesday night that left at least twenty-six
people kit killed we r hearing over growing anger
on industry to talk to anti-hunger the director of the Ukrainian
Institute joining us live from London thank you for joining us
and he said quite a few developments in the last couple hours or so the head of
the
army has been replaced me i hearing that
Viktor Yanukovich's extending the hand his hand to the opposition
for talks what do you think is happening
at the moment what's under pressure is he under well
the announcement there was literally made within the last hour is the the
truce
I is in place the three opposition leaders Mets with the president's
and represented South of his administration I think
within the administration there are the Hawks and the Dobbs some
have been pushing the president's to crackdown and we were
we were expecting a crackdown again tonight a similar to what we saw last
night
but some I think the pressure that's coming from the
especially have tomorrow's EU a meeting of foreign ministers
I think there's been a lot going on behind the scenes
over the last a few hours are both from
alls parties and the message has
has been delivered to miss the other college our society we just thought we
were expecting some server
action considering he replaced the head of the army with somebody is perceived
to be
much tougher they were many people in his campaign for the victim yet the
coverage was being tough enough
I think it's a question loyalty now
there have been cracks appearing within the army
we have seen some regiments even from apart some ukraine
I not taking orders I so I think it's the right position terms a riot police
arms so in terms of the army I think the president wants to be a 110% sure
thats if he says you know go the people will go a moment I think that there is
some
caution and some hesitation on whether that may or may not happen
okay do you think this is likely to appease the EU and
the US because there's talk of sanctions and and if sanctions goes ahead do you
think that could make a difference
I think a in the short term
when the EU foreign ministers sat down small right they will be
I that will be breathing a slightly easier I
I think that the threat of sanctions sometimes is more potent than
sanctions themselves and I think here the question should be
very much about targeted a sanctions and personalized sanctions
mainly the refocusing on the president's focusing on those
in his administration that's have been
I that are responsible for the bloodshed and the question is
is also the financial backers because we're hearing a lot that there's been a
lot of talks now
with the the oligarchs the big business leaders that supported the regime
and the a EU leaders have stole them
that someday we'll also be targeted on if
if the bloodshed continues so I think that's really hitting it where it hurts
and some I think that lot has happened
over the last a couple of hours lost I'm
the course the date in terms of that the threat of sanctions
and so i think's did them the message is slot starting to break through
and you think Yannick averages feeling slightly in part considering how
divided the opposition is how fractured the opposition is
I think I'm
the the opposition what what what is actually now coming
onto the table injuries talks is discussing of the removal of the
president's
I at the moment obviously he's having none of it but some
I think it's really that the message that started to come across to him is
can be very difficult for him to continue
running the the country being recognized as a president's
when he's the the the government and at the right place which is responsible for
hap shots debt 26 protesters
that's the number we have at the moment I so I think
that there are talks finding a solution where
would it be possible for him to to leave but giving him guarantees I think what
he's most scared
of now is he does not want ends up way
he's put you to Shinnecock I E in prison because the the risk is
is enormous that as soon as he is removed when he steps down tomorrow
than he'll be put into prison straightaway so he is fighting to save
his his his
his his life and his future so I think
if there are some guarantees that could be given to him
possibly in a foreign country possibly somewhere in central asia possibly bill
Ross
possibly Switzerland's our way he could cliff I
a peaceful life arm a future
for him and his family that that that that could be in option where
he would have guarantees from a third party okay
