American official tells Ukraine's protest leaders to find peaceful end to crisis
"The EU shouldn't feel too responsible for what’s going on in Ukraine," said Charles Grant, the director of the CER. Mr Yanukovich was bluntly telling European and American diplomats that he needed $20 billion to seal the deal in the face of Russian opposition. "The EU shouldn't play that kind of game, if it's about the personal enrichment of the political elite," he said.
