Acting Ukrainian Foreign Minister Leonid Kozhara has called on foreign states and international organizations to make an objective assessment of the events in Kyiv on Tuesday.

"We call on foreign states and international organizations to make objective and impartial assessments of the situation in Ukraine and expect them to strongly condemn the illegal actions of radical forces," reads a statement by, which was obtained by Interfax -Ukraine.

Kozhara said that on Tuesday "radical forces in Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities, posing as peaceful protesters, initiated a new, groundless outburst of violence and lawlessness."

"The so-called protesters make armed attacks on government buildings, set fire to the buildings, cause serious injury to law enforcement officers, use firearms and urge other citizens to do so," he said.

He said that such actions endanger the lives and safety of Ukrainian citizens and the constitutional order in the country, as well as demand that the authorities make an independent assessment and a proper response as part of the existing legislation in order to restore law and order.
