Kyiv, May 15th, 2014 – Mykola Bondar, a leader of Maidan Self Defense Hundred during the briefing at Ukrainian Crisis Media Center said: “Maidan was a Sich with long established values. Politicians now call to dispel Maidan. But the majority of Self Defense forces are not going to clear the square. We will stay here up to the elections until we see consistent changes and full reset of power. We will do whatever we can to affect the government so that they don’t forget the Maidan values”.
Another leader Nazar Mukhachov claimed: “We completely refuse to join battalions, since they still have to be legalized. Most of those people, who were in power before, remain in power and even got promotion. Politicians forgot people’s expectations”. He also added that the unity of the country is the main principle: “People in the east also want peace, they want normal life. And they also don’t want to live in a corrupted state”.
Commenting on reformatting of Self Defense activities, centurion Nazar Mukhachov said: “We will join the battalions when they are legalized”. Besides, according to Mr. Mukhachov, one of Maidan’s main demands was a change of system, however the majority of politicians, who were in power before, remained, and they neglect people’s voice. He also added that now the country’s unity is the main principle: “What unites people in the east and west is striving for peace and, at the same time, refusal to live in a corrupted state”.
