2014年CRI 乌克兰前总统现身称不会要求俄军事援助（在线收听）

Ousted Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych says

he will not ask Russia for military support to resolve domestic crisis.

He said this at a press conference on Friday in Russia's Rostov-on-Don,

some 1,000 km southwest of Moscow,

in his first public appearance after a week-long hiding.

Yanukovych said he was surprised that Russian President Vladimir Putin had been "silent."

The ousted president blamed "irresponsible" Western powers for chaos and lawlessness in his country.

He said the current Supreme Rada, the parliament, was illegitimate

because power in Ukraine has been seized by nationalists "who represent absolutely minority of the population."

He accused the opposition of violating the agreement on constitutional reform signed on Feb. 21.

He said the agreement, if implemented, could have calmed the situation.

China's Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang says China believes the Ukrainian people are able to resolve their problems themselves,

as protestors in Crimea call for a referendum over the future status of the Crimea Autonomous Republic in southern Ukraine.

He says China respects Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity.
