Yanukovych’s indecision doomed Ukrainian people to suffer – Medvedev

MOSCOW. March 21 (Interfax) – Viktor Yanukovych’s indecision caused sufferings to Ukrainian people, who were entitled to peacefully protest against the authorities’ arbitrary rule, Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said.

“The [Ukrainian] authorities’ impotence, President Yanukovych’s personal weakness and indecision doomed the people of Ukraine to great sufferings. The people who took to the streets had the right to peacefully protest against corruption and arbitrary rule,” Medvedev said in a statement available on his Facebook account.

“This doesn’t negate the fact that seizing power through an armed riot and through violence and murder is unacceptable,” he said.
