14. I became aware of this as it was happening. On Thursday night before the signing of the agreement between the regime and opposition forces was to take place on Friday, I was chatting with my former colleague Vitaliy Sych, a prominent journalist. When I asked him what he thought of the meeting that was to take place the next day, he told me that the “real meeting” was going on somewhere else. He said that Yanukovych’s colleagues in the Party of Regions were through with him. Even for them, he had gone too far.
