Btw, I support any cause for an independent and sovereign Ukraine, idealistic as that sounds. I am suspicious (being generous) of all the Opposition candidates and any that support the EU is catastrophic for Ukraine. It's short-term gain that will not develop well. Unfortunately, money talks and the economic situatiion of Ukraine dictates that there is an attempt to move towards the EU. Ukraine has a chance/opportunity to build their country for self-sufficiency but alas, they probably won't do so. Sadly.

For anyone who wants to attack me (like the other poster) for my unpopular perspective, go ahead. I will not respond. The issue and events that have transpired are complex. Discussions with Ukrainians and Russians of all political persuasians do help but there's a lot of 'propaganda' out there.

Good luck, Ukraine.
