U.S. ambassador in Kyiv skeptical Ukraine will now be stable

DONETSK. Aug 9 (Interfax) - U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine William Taylor said he doubts Ukraine will not experience further political turmoil.

The ambassador said it was quite democratic that people in Ukraine believe it is necessary to call fresh election to the Verkhovna Rada.

Taylor said he had spoken to people who say they are convinced in the need for fresh elections. He said there were even people who believe elections are needed right now. He said such people tried hard to convince him that they would act in line with the Constitution in pushing for new elections. The ambassador said he considered such views legal, that they were part of political activity, and part of democracy.
