KYIV. Feb 21 (Interfax) – The ultra-radical movement Right Sector has stated it does not trust Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych and will continue fighting against the current authorities.

To settle the domestic situation we are initiating a return to the 2004 Constitution and announcing an early presidential election, Yanukovych said earlier on Friday.

Our movement tends to see Yanukovych’s statement as the “hoodwinking,” Right Sector leader Dmitriy Yarosh said in a statement posted on the Vkontakte social network website on Friday.

In his statement the president mentioned neither his own resignation, nor disbandment of Verkhovna Rada which the movement has accused of inaction during the escalation of the domestic conflict, Yarosh said

Besides, Yanukovych said nothing of sacking and punishing senior law enforcement offiicals responsible for people’s deaths, Yarosh said.

Right Sector insists on the disbandment of the Party of Regions and the Communist Party of Ukraine, as well as “safety guarantees for all participants of revolutionary actions,” the radical movement leader said.

“The national revolution continues,” Yarosh said, adding that it will only end with the removal of the current regime.
