- Ukraine: le président Ianoukovitch quitte Kiev (médias)
Le président ukrainien Viktor Ianoukovitch a quitté vendredi soir la capitale, Kiev, pour se rendre à Kharkov (ouest), rapportent samedi les médias occidentaux citant une source au sein du gouvernement américain.
"Selon nos informations (…), le président Ianoukovitch est parti pour Kharkov pour prendre part à une certaine réunion, et il y est déjà arrivé", a fait savoir la source qui affirmait s'être entretenu avec le ministre ukrainien des Affaires étrangères Leonid Kojara.
Kharkov est la deuxième plus grande ville d'Ukraine, considérée comme un fief des partisans du président Ianoukovitch.
Vendredi 21 février, M.Ianoukovitch et les chefs de file de l'opposition antigouvernementale ont conclu un accord sur le règlement de la crise en Ukraine qui prévoyait un retour au régime parlementaire, la formation d'un gouvernement d'union nationale et la tenue de l'élection présidentielle anticipée avant la fin de l'année en cours.
Le document a été signé à l'issue de plusieurs jours d'extrêmes violences à Kiev, où près de 80 personnes avaient trouvé la mort dans des affrontements entre forces de l'ordre et protestataires.

Βαλεντίνα Ματβιένκο: στην Ουκρανία λαμβάνει χώρα προσπάθεια κρατικού πραξικοπήματος ...
ReplyDeleteΩς βίαιη προσπάθεια ανατροπής της νόμιμης εξουσίας στη χώρα χαρακτήρισε τα δρώμενα στην Ουκρανία η Πρόεδρος του Συμβουλίου της Ομοσπονδίας (Άνω Βουλής) της Ρωσικής Ομοσπονδίας Βαλεντίνα Ματβιένκο σε συνάντηση με τον Πρόεδρο του Ανωτάτου Συμβουλίου της Κριμαίας Βλαντίμιρ Κονσταντίνοφ στη Μόσχα. Με τη σειρά του, ο επικεφαλής της Βουλής της Κριμαίας δήλωσε ότι δεν θα αναγνωρίσει ως νόμιμες οποιεσδήποτε ενέργειες των ουκρανικών Αρχών, που θα εγκριθούν υπό την πίεση των εξτρεμιστών.
Η Βαλεντίνα Ματβιένκο κατά τη διάρκεια της συνάντησης κάλεσε όλες τις υγιώς σκεπτόμενες πολιτικές και κοινωνικές δυνάμεις της Ουκρανίας να συνενωθούν για τον τερματισμό των ενεργειών, που απειλούν την εδαφική ακεραιότητα της χώρας, δήλωσε η Πρόεδρος του Συμβουλίου της Ομοσπονδίας:
- Δυστυχώς, οι ηγέτες της αντιπολίτευσης, οι οποίοι συμμετέχουν στις συνομιλίες, και ο κόσμος στο Μαϊντάν, είναι δυο εντελώς διαφορετικές δυνάμεις. Οι ευρισκόμενοι στην Πλατεία Μαϊντάν, δεν έχουν ορισμένες πολιτικές απαιτήσεις προς την εξουσία, για τις οποίες θα μπορούσαν να διεξαχθούν συνομιλίες. Παρόλ΄ αυτά, η θέση μας συνίσταται στο ότι πρέπει να γίνει παν το δυνατόν για την ειρηνευτική επίλυση της εξαιρετικά σκληρής πολιτικής κρίσης. Από την άλλη σε οποιοδήποτε κράτος οι Αρχές είναι υπόχρεες να εξασφαλίσουν τη διαφύλαξη του συνταγματικού συστήματος και της ασφάλειας των πολιτών στο πλαίσιο του Συντάγματος, στο πλαίσιο της ισχύουσας νομοθεσίας. Νομίζω ότι όλες οι υγιώς σκεπτόμενες δυνάμεις της Ουκρανίας, και τέτοιες είναι η απόλυτη πλειονότητα των κατοίκων της χώρας, πρέπει να συνενωθούν στην επιδίωξή τους να θέσουν τέλος σε αυτή τη βία, να θέσουν τέλος σε αυτές τις ληστρικές, αντισυνταγματικές ενέργειες, διότι διαφορετικά αυτή η κατάσταση απειλεί την εδαφική ακεραιότητα της Ουκρανίας.......Διαβάστε ολόκληρο το κείμενο: http://greek.ruvr.ru/2014_02_21/263568942/

Ukraine downfall: President’s whereabouts uncertain as opposition push for resignation...
ReplyDeleteThe whereabouts of Ukrainian President Yanukovich are unknown a day after he agreed to opposition demands. Parliament is trying to replace its resigned speaker to push for presidential resignation and an early election.
Ukraine remains chaotic amid the worst political crisis the country has seen in modern history. Viktor Yanukovich has gone missing, with even his immediate staff declining to say where he is.
The presidential residence in Kiev has been abandoned and left virtually unguarded. Some media reports said on Friday that the residents had packed up and left.
Some media reports suggest that Yanukovich is in Kharkov, a city in Eastern Ukraine, which is a stronghold of his Party of Regions. The president is supposedly going to take part in a summit of members of regional parliaments from Eastern and Southern Ukraine. The emergency gathering will be discussing the ongoing crisis and the strategy the Euromaidan-skeptical regions will follow after the opposition gains in Kiev and in the west of the country.
Neither presidential staff nor local authorities in Kharkov confirmed Yanukovich’s visit. The local airport said the presidential plane had not landed there...............http://rt.com/news/ukraine-president-parliament-chaos-249/

Ukraine: Sevastopol installs pro-Russian mayor as separatism fears grow....
ReplyDeleteMoscow shows its influence in Crimean city amid fears the whole peninsula could seek deeper ties with Russia.
Authorities in the southern Ukrainian city of Sevastopol have installed a pro-Russian mayor as fears grow that the Kremlin may be stoking separatist sentiment in the region.
Sevastopol's city council handed power to Aleksei Chaliy, a Russian citizen, during an extraordinary session on Monday evening while more than a thousand protesters gathered around city hall chanting "Russia, Russia, Russia," and "A Russian mayor for a Russian city."
Fears are spreading that separatists in Sevastopol, and the Crimean region of which it is a part, could use the power vacuum in Ukraine to seize greater autonomy and deepen ties with Russia.
It was not immediately clear whether local security forces would back Chaliy, but earlier in the day Sevastopol police chief Alexander Goncharov said that his officers would refuse to carry out "criminal orders" issued by Kiev.
At least four checkpoints manned by armed police were in place on major roads into the city to stop the arrival of extremists, according to local media reports.
Ukraine's interim president, Olexander Turchynov, warned on Tuesday that the country faced a "serious threat" from separatism..................http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/feb/25/ukraine-sevastopol-installs-pro-russian-mayor
