On the contrary, Nikolay Fedorenko, 31 years old is a media expert from the city of Chernihiv. He does not support the opposition’s actions: “they demanded to relaunch the talks with the EU about the association membership – the government tried to restart talks. They wanted Azarov and Zacharchenko to resign – they did so. They wanted antidemocratic laws to be cancelled and so it is. So what? Are they satisfied? Obviously they are not!”



And he continues: “there are only more demands to come. If the opposition refuses to take part in forming a new Cabinet of Ministers, it means they do not really seek any compromise. They only want to come to power.” But is the opposition controlling the crowds gathered in Maydan? The answer seems to be negative. And this explains the current uncertain situation in Ukraine. No leader has enough courage to take responsibility for what is going on and for what has happened. The opposition does not propose productive reforms. Officials are not acting either, too afraid that they are of possible EU or US economic sanctions and the blocking of their bank accounts abroad. So why are people still dying during clashes with the police?



“Both sides are responsible for the worsening of the situation”, claims Fedorenko.



The next session of Parliament will take place on Tuesday, February 4th. It is likely that the Parliament will be dissolved and a new date for an early election will be chosen. Though tensions have eased, there is still a long way to go before the full reconciliation and a new political balance.
