Sikorski says Ukraine needs a compromise
Poland’s Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski, in an interview with Deutche Welle (DW.com) at the Munich Security Confernce, said, Ukraine is in dire need of reforms and this can only be accomplished
by a stable and effective government. I am pleased that the government in Kyiv contemplates talking about changing the constitution which would make for a better [power] balance between president and parliament. The opposition and government could meet halfway.
Sikorski made this assessment after he recently met his Ukrainian counterpart Leonid Kozhara.
When Sikorski was asked what would he like to hear from Russia, he stated:
When Russia offered Ukraine cheaper gas and loans, it was labeled as an act of Christian benevolence. Now we hear of conditions. I would like to hear whether Russia thinks recent developments in Ukraine are optimal, and I would like to ask if Russia shouldn’t consider that Ukraine is going to decide about its own path.
