Action Item: STOP THE YANUKOVYCH BULLDOZER!

The Canadian Group for Democracy in Ukraine (CG4DU) is appealing to the European Union (EU) to rethink its approach towards Ukraine as long as the Yanukovych regime continues its authoritarian chokehold over the Ukrainian people.

Unquestionably, Ukraine's place is in the EU.  However, as long as her current administration, legislature and judiciary are unconstitutionally controlled by a select group of autocrats under the direction of the president and his cronies, Ukraine will never be a true democratic and sovereign partner in Europe's family of nations.

The EU must insist that Ukrainian officials return the country to the people by restoring human rights, by stopping the pillaging of state coffers, by giving the media its deserved freedom - by following the constitution.  Political prisoners - namely former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko and former Interior Minister Yuri Lutsenko - must be freed immediately and unconditionally by the judiciary from illegitimate incarceration.  These must be the first steps to give Ukraine back to her citizens.  This is the correct path to EU integration for Ukraine.
