You feel ready for conclusions?

BTW if you don't accept legitimity of even moderately rich people and money-consuming elections, than you should not accept legitimity of any USA president.
No, I have no conclusions, I am trying to understand it.
And I have zero admiration for "democracy" in the USA. And some parts of Europe. It's a joke, and media is in on it.

Whatever will raise living standards for Ukrainians across the country, and not discriminate anyone, is fine by me.
I don't care if it's nationalists, communists, Russia or EU/USA puppets.
As long as it works, and provides stability and improved living conditions for the majority. Not just a clique at the top of society.

But don't trust the EU, please. The EU looks after its own, primarily Northwestern Europe. And runs the errands of the USA. Just because they come and talk on the Maidan and hand out cookies doesn't mean they genuinely care about the lives of regular people in Ukraine. They care about how EU busineses can make money in and out of Ukraine, and about opposing Russia. If it helps some Ukrainians then would be happy with that, but it's not their main motivation.

I'm aware Timoshenko is not in the government. Last I heard she flew to Germany to be treated for some illness after being released from prison. I think she'll want to continue in politics though, she seems very passionate. I know she was accused of corruption, but I don't know if it's true, and what exactly her politics is.
