"Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, in recent weeks and months there have been many attempts by the Heads of State or Government and by Mr Barroso and Mr Van Rompuy, among others, to uphold the rule of law in Ukraine. Ms Tymoshenko and others are in prison, persecuted on legal principles that no longer apply under any rule of law, on the basis of legislation introduced by Stalin in 1927, probably targeting Leo Trotsky. We must see this as a systematic attempt to discourage the opposition from fielding candidates and taking part in the democratic process. This is a further step, following last year’s falsified elections and the obvious present moves to change the electoral system, contrary to the wishes of the Venice Commission. Ukraine is a European country with a European perspective. We want to see association agreements with Ukraine, but this requires that Ukraine should move in the right direction and should not systematically persecute the opposition and flout the rule of law. It is for this reason that the fate of Ukraine and its citizens lies in the hands of President Yanukovych."@en1
