(Tuesday, May 13, 2014 ) Distancing himself from the international recognition of Ukraines government by the EU, the US and the UN, Tsipras rejects the legitimacy of the interim government on the grounds that fascist elements are serving in it Syriza leader Alexis Tsipras lambasted western policy on Ukraine and expressed support for separatist referendums in the Ukraine during an official visit to Moscow, upon the invitation of the Russian government. We believe the Ukrainian people should be sovereign and should decide with a democratic manner and with referendums on its future, Tsipras said, as quoted by the state-run Athens News Agency, of the breakaway referendums that are leading to the countrys partition. While Tsipras said he was visiting Russia in his dual capacity as Greek main opposition leader and the European Left partys candidate for the presidency of the European Commission, it is unclear whether the pro-secessionist stance is the official policy of the European Left. Distancing himself from the international recognition of Ukraines government by the EU, the US and the UN, Tsipras clearly rejected the legitimacy of the interim government on the grounds that fascist elements are serving in it. It is a regression for us to see fascism and the neonazis entering European governments again and for this to be accepted by the EU, Tsipras stressed.
