I take issue with that statement. I think the Crimea likes getting all this attention and it emboldens them. The world really doesn't know what the Ukraine will say about it's leadership until May. Keeping everything optimistic to the outcomes within legal elections is the best for the Ukraine. They need to carry out their lives and decide about their votes for May.

Yanukovych is a danger to the people. He dismantled the national military and put militias throughout the country. Even under the constitution preferred by Yanukovych he isn't allowed to assault the sovereignty of the country. What about this seems to be unclear, because, it isn't unclear to most of the Ukrainians.
