Lately some Western journalists, observers, and even diplomats, praise the concessions that Yanukovych has made, including the recent “amnesty law”. However, this position is based on very dangerous illusions, misperceptions, oversimplifications, and superficial observations. In fact, further support of this law in particular, and Yanukovych with his regime in general, can only bring more violence and even death to my country. Why do I think so?
