European Commissioner for Enlargement and European Neighborhood Policy Stefan Fule has called on the Ukrainian authorities to respect freedom of assembly and expression.

"Ukraine: the authorities refrained from signing the Association Agreement, but they should not refrain from respecting freedom of assembly and expression," Fule wrote on his Twitter page.

"We call on the power to refrain from using force against those who peacefully express their views," the European commissioner wrote later.
