You will all be dead.“ When asked by ITV News whether he thought he had managed to persuade the opposition, Mr Sikorski appeared to reply: “I don’t know.“ Ukraine opposition leaders later signed an EU-mediated peace deal with President Viktor Yanukovich, aiming to end a violent standoff that has left dozens dead and opening the way for a early presidential election this year.
