Violence only generates violence and allowing conflict to escalate is not the solution for putting an end to the Ukrainian crisis. The representatives of the protesters, the Opposition and the authorities in Kyiv have the obligation to sit around the negotiation table to quickly identify a peaceful solution to lead to reconciliation,’ said Antonescu, according to a press release.
