Valens in Kyiv

Lech Valens, who arrived in Kyiv on Thursday morning, said that he was an OSCE authorized. “A minute ago,” he said at noon at a press conference with Yushchenko, “I received information by phone that I am authorized from the OSCE, and this is another argument that can also help Ukraine.” Valensa clarified that he should currently receive a formal document on his appointment by the OSCE authorized. Then he will meet with all aspects of the conflict, RIA Novosti reports.

He emphasized that during the meeting with Valensa, "traditional issues", in particular, elections in Ukraine, the problems of democracy and freedom of speech were discussed.

Valensa said that at the end of the day he flew to Portugal. Instead, he will leave his deputy in Ukraine. “He will remain with you both in joy and in grief. As soon as I decide my affairs, if necessary,” I will return, ”said the former president of Poland.

Valensa explained that he would like to talk to them "first alone, and then with everyone together." If the meeting takes place, then the ex-Prime Minister of Poland would like to say to three Ukrainians: "I do not intervene in your affairs, but how a neighbor would like to help as much as possible." Valensa believes that in the current situation in Ukraine, "you need to talk. You can’t put anyone on your knees. You need to look for compromises. This is the wise exit."
