US and West provoke Ukraine crisis - former Czech president

PRAGUE, April 23 (Itar-Tass) - The West and United States provoked the Ukrainian crisis, former President of the Czech Republic Vaclav Klaus has said in an interview to Czech television (CT24). “I think that not Russia is to blame for the outbreak in Kiev in the Maidan (Independence Square). Western Europe and the United States aggravated the situation,” he said. “I had told them from the very beginning don’t exert pressure on Ukraine, you’ll only destroy and disintegrate it. Unfortunately, that is what exactly has happened,” Klaus said. At present, in his view, the country is undergoing a period too difficult to “clearly say whether it wants to rely on the West or on Russia.” However, it should independently decide its own future. “Let them decide themselves their future - without any interference from outside.” “Please, stop any interference from the East or from the West,” the former Czech president said.
