Russia’s PM rebukes West for taking sides on Ukraine protests

Russia’s prime minister, Dmitry Medvedev, has criticized the visits of top Western officials to Ukrainian anti-government protests, calling them "interference in Ukraine’s internal affairs."
He was referring to the two-day visit of German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle to Ukraine for an OSCE summit, which he started Thursday evening with a tour to the heart of the ongoing protest. Accompanied by two of the opposition leaders, the German minister toured Kiev’s Independence Square and European Square, the two main venues for the ongoing demonstrations.
“Excuse me, but taking part in such actions is called simply interference in internal affairs,” Medvedev said about Westerwelle’s visit.
