U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt has welcomed a proposal by Ukrainian businessman Rinat Akhmetov on resolving the political crisis in Ukraine.
“I welcome the wise advice of Rinat Akhmetov on the current crisis,” he wrote on his page on Twitter on Friday.
Akhmetov said in a statement on December 13 that Ukraine is a free
democratic country, since Ukraine took to the streets for peaceful
rallies, and that the country would not swerve from this path. He called
on the Ukrainian authorities, opposition politicians and moral leaders
of the country to sit at the negotiating table and make a decision from
which “every Ukrainian and Ukraine will benefit in the short, medium and
long term.”
