The most obvious option is to simply ignore the Maidan.

The Maidan is a huge pain in Yanukovych's neck. The longer he ignores it, the more it will swell, and the more harm ignoring it will cause. The details are well described here.

Javdet, you are trying to explain the reason why Yanukovych cannot deploy troops right now. Yes, that's true. That's why he is going to take a cunning step - provoke mass unrest (to which he supposedly has nothing to do with) and deploy troops to resolve it. In this way, he will create an image of himself as a peacemaker and benefactor, get away with it, but at the same time suppress the protest.

You provide facts, arguments, and reasoning.

Are you talking about yourself?))
