Everything you are all say is 100 percent true. More than true, if that is
possible.
But what maidan showed was the extraordinary capacity for Ukrainians to
adapt fast to situations, in order to defend themselves.
Undermining is going on constantly, in Ukraine.
Yet, Ukrainians were resilient on maidan.
But surely, some basic things could have been done, like prof. Kravchenko
on our list here suggests.
On the Facebook pages, and in articles, I read that Turchynov and Yatseniuk
Ok and run by Yulka everything they do. Batkivshchyna is the dominant force
in the government. Doesn't his mean that they are the ones making the
decisions. Everytime klitschko makes some suggestion it gets forgotten. He
wanted borders closed. No one did this. He wanted to severe relations with
Russia until their military gets out, this idea is not taking.
Well, with a Black Hole like Putin, you have to adapt faster than the speed
of light.
