Viktor Yushchenko Conflict Quotations

No one wants conflict or misunderstandings, ... If it appears, I'm convinced it must be met with honesty and courage, and given an absolutely balanced and calm answer.

I was aware of some misunderstandings but I saw them as a temporary problem. But with time the standoff grew into a conflict and backstage intrigues. I am convinced that the time has come when my colleagues lost their team spirit and faith. And today, however hard it may be, I must cut this Gordian knot, in the name of Ukraine.

This decision puts Ukraine on the verge of civil conflict.
