They emphasize all three the risk of "serious consequences" from the crisis for the sovereignty of the former Soviet republic torn ente EU and Russia.

"We express our solidarity with the peaceful actions of hundreds of thousands of young Ukrainians," wrote the former heads of state. "The political crisis that developed in Ukraine could have serious consequences for the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine," they continue.

"Their commitment to the European choices, democratic values, fosters respect," still write about the three presidents of the demonstrators.
