Eliot Engel actually said...

"I happen to believe, as the demonstrators do, that the country would be far better off working out a partnership with the European Union than with the Russian customs union."

"I really think that I would decline to chop this up at this date."

"I think that the demonstrators in the streets of Kyiv are asking the President to resign so that new elections can be held."

"I commend the efforts of the administration and our European partners to de-escalate tensions."
