The forces of Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych foolishly stuffed ballots and intimidated the country’s electoral commission to an absurd degree. They then tried to force the Ukrainian people to swallow this sham – threatening to ban public gatherings, close our borders to new visa seekers, and silence any word of our protests on television.
今后的日日夜夜会难关密布，俄国军队的秘密介入更使局势变得凶险万分。亚努科维奇总理的军队愚蠢地挤满了投票站，选举委员会受到了近乎荒谬的威胁。而后他们想迫使乌克兰人吞下这枚苦果－威胁要禁止公众集会、停止发放签证、压制电视上的任何抗议声音。
