Putin on the Ukrainian protestors:
"I sympathise with the people on Maidan even though I don’t recognise the change in regime … People are not demanding renovations of the facade of power, they want cardinal changes, because they are used to crooks taking over from other crooks..."
Then:
"Of course people wanted change. But it cannot impose illegal change ...you need to use only constitutional means."
