The former President of Poland Aleksander Kwaśniewski has a new column about the political crisis in Ukraine, and what can be done to save the advances won by the Orange Revolution.

Three approaches are vital in the preparation and adoption of a new constitutional settlement. First, politicisation, factionalism and any attempt to modernise the constitution in the interests of any one political leader or grouping must be avoided. That is why I warmly welcome President Viktor Yushchenko’s call to declare a moratorium on political quarrels and hope to see his example followed by all parties.
