Excerto de uma entrevista da Foreign Policy (FP) a Vitali Klitschko (VK), um antigo campeão de boxe e actual líder da oposição ucraniana:
«FP: Have the sanctions so far been sufficient or do they need to be increased?
VK: If Russia continues we have to go a new level of financial and political sanctions.
FP: How can NATO help in this crisis?
VK: It is now abundantly clear that our decision to become a non-aligned state was a mistake...
FP: ... So you think Ukraine should join NATO?
VK: Russia has taken the decision for us. It has driven us into NATO.
FP: Will it be possible for Ukraine to join NATO?
VK: I don't want to talk about that because it's like waving a red flag under Russia's nose.
FP: Is joining the EU still possible?
VK: I am very pro-European and as I said before Russians enjoy Europe very much. Whenever I speak to Russians about the Ukraine-EU issue, I always say: "We are doing everything we can to bring Europe closer to you! It will make it easier for you to enjoy your European luxuries!"»
