EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton on Wednesday called for an end to the "violence and intimidation" in Ukraine, saying there needed to be a real dialogue between the authorities and the opposition.

"The violence and intimidation, wherever it comes from, must be stopped," she told reporters in Kiev following a meeting with President Viktor Yanukovych. "The dialogue that has happened from time to time (between the opposition and authorities) needs to be a real dialogue," she added.
