U.S. Embassy Urging Calm and Political Dialogue January 19, 2014 The United States Embassy calls for an end to ongoing violent confrontations between protestors and police in Kyiv. We urge calm and call on all sides to cease any acts provoking or resulting in violence. We further urge the Government of Ukraine to immediately start negotiations with all sides to resolve the political standoff, address protestors concerns, and prevent violence from spreading. Violence only serves to foster fear and confusion, and distracts from the need for a political solution, which is the best way to carry out the will of the Ukrainian people.
