A statement made by Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych, who said that the authorities had fulfilled all of the obligations assumed during talks with the opposition, is an attempt to mislead society, the opposition UDAR party said in a statement on Thursday.

"Yanukovych is not being completely honest when he says that the authorities have lived up to their obligations. The opposition brought a concrete list of demands to its negotiations with the president," UDAR said.

The first demand was that the authorities free all of the people who were detained by law enforcement agencies during a protest against the January 16 laws, including Automaidan activists, the party said.

"But hundreds of Maidan activists are still being held behind bars all over the country, while "pocket" courts continue to hand down two-month arrest rulings to demonstrators," it said.

The opposition's second demand was a guarantee that all protesters, both current and future ones, will not be exposed to criminal prosecution, except for persons involved in murders and abductions, it said.

"However, the Party of Regions, following the president's persuasion and threats, passed Miroshnychenko's pseudo-amnesty law, which has effectively made people hostages to the authorities," UDAR said in its statement.

The opposition's third demand was that the president must repeal "the package of hand-made dictatorial bills" that were adopted on January 16 with gross violations of the country's constitution, the party said. The president has not signed these bills into law so far.

Apart from that, the opposition requested a revival of the 2004 constitution.

"People came to Maidan demanding changes in the leadership and the system. And the first step toward it will be a transformation of the governance system into a parliamentary-presidential one. This needs to be done immediately," UDAR said.

The opposition also demanded the cabinet's resignation.

"Azarov stepped down, but the issue of the government's liability was never referred to parliament, even though the current political crisis in Ukraine is a result of the Azarov government's poor policy," the party said.

Up until the last meeting between the president and the opposition, Justice Minister Olena Lukash kept insisting that negotiations would continue, the party said.

In this context, the president's remarks claiming that all of the obligations have been fulfilled appear to be quite strange, it said.

"Negotiations ought to go on because such a way for the president to refuse to explain Ukraine's acute political crisis indicates that he either lacks a clear understanding of what is happening in the country or this situation suits him," UDAR said.

President Yanukovych said in an address to Ukrainian citizens, published on his website on Thursday, that the authorities had fulfilled their obligations to settle the crisis in the country, but the opposition "continues to whip up the situation."
