Sounds like a recipe for disaster of the Hrushevsky/Petliura type
1917-1920. As for the eastern border they had better act FASTER and prevent
the arrival of the titushky and they will be a major problem once things
get hot.
As for not recognizing the current Ukrainian government, blame Yanukovych
for that for having fled the country. As president he is head of state and
protector/guarantor of the nation's independence and territorial integrity.
Slowly change!!!!! Seems like they have taken the textbook for a stillborn
independence ala Hrushevsky/Petliura as a blueprint for their policies.
