Political analyst 8 Ilan Berman at the American Foreign Policy Council in Washington says it does not matter which politicians will make up the new government, but rather what policies they will establish.
全国和解重任,华盛顿的“美国对外政策理事会”的政治分析员伊兰·伯曼说,哪些政治人物在新政府任职并不重要,重要的是他们将制定什么样的政策。
"I think you have a very significant, credible 9 Russian threat of military force among other things, certainly of Russian pressure that is likely to steer 10 the process at least somewhat so that candidates that emerge do emerge in part because the Russian-speaking parts of Ukraine find them acceptable," said Berman.
他说:“在各种问题中,我认为还存在来自俄罗斯的重大的、不可忽视的军力威胁。至少俄罗斯的压力在某种程度上可能影响进程,会让一些说俄语的乌克兰地区的人也能够接受的候选人浮出台面。”
Many Ukrainians understand that and say there is no need to dismiss all members of the former government.

And some think it was wrong to disband the riot police.
