被推翻的乌克兰总统亚努科维奇星期二指责说,克里米亚脱离乌克兰的举动是那些反对他的人造成的。他说,他仍然是乌克兰的总统与武装部队总司令。
 
亚努科维奇在俄罗斯的顿河畔罗斯托夫讲了这番话。这是他逃离基辅以来的第二次公开露面。他在持续了几个月的反政府抗议之后被赶下台。
 
亚努科维奇指责乌克兰临时政府领导人是“极端分子”。他说,新政府计划在5月25日举行的选举是非法的。
 
他还放重话批评美国以及美国对乌克兰临时政府提供的10亿美元的贷款担保。他说,美国政府无权“把钱给土匪”。
 
与此同时,法国外长法比尤斯星期二对法国国际广播电台说,如果莫斯科不对平息克里米亚危机的建议作出积极回应,西方国家最早在这个星期就有可能对俄罗斯实施制裁。
 
亲俄武装控制了乌克兰的克里米亚半岛,俄罗斯和西方为此陷入紧张对峙。克里米亚危机是上个月亚努科维奇被推翻后爆发的。
 
Ousted Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych blamed his opponents Tuesday for Crimea's moves to break away from Ukraine and said he remains the country's president and commander-in-chief.

Mr. Yanukovych spoke from Rostov-on-Don, Russia in his second public appearance since he fled Kyiv last month following months of anti-government protests.

Denouncing Ukraine's interim authorities as "extremists," the ousted leader called the new government's planned May 25 elections "illegitimate" and "illegal."

He also had strong words for the United States and its offer of $1 billion in loan guarantees to the interim government, saying the U.S. government does not have the right to "give money to bandits."

Meanwhile, French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius told France Inter radio Tuesday the West could impose sanctions against Russia as early as this week if Moscow does not respond positively to proposals to calm the crisis in Crimea.

Russia and the West are locked in a tense standoff over pro-Russian forces' seizure of the Ukrainian peninsula. The crisis in Crimea began late last month after Mr. Yanukovych's ouster.
