"Mr President, Commissioner, I am sure that we would agree that, on account of its size and significance, Ukraine is the most important country in the area covered by our neighbourhood policy, and I am really dismayed to see the developments in the domestic political situation there in recent months – it is indeed a backwards step, a re-Sovietisation at an astonishing rate. Last week, when Mr Yanukovych was in Brussels, the considerable concern that we really ought to express with regard to developments there was not, at any rate, reflected in the public statements as far as I could see.
It is a question of local election laws that are being manipulated in such a way that political plurality is no longer ensured. Parties registering under the new law are not granted authorisation. The secret service is taking on its old, abominable roles. I am really very concerned, and I believe that the verbal statements made in relation to Europe by the current government there really are just words and do not reflect reality. What do you intend to do in order to make a clear statement to Ukraine?"@en1
