yep fairly expected. The cossack union pledged full support for Yanukovich etc... its not big but grassroots wise its very well done. All I know is that all the generals in ukraine are Kuchma related by blood/friendship and almost all are from Denpropetrovsk region thats where kuchma is from. None of them will switch sides if he comes under danger because they will all be affected. One big happy clan. (they have em in western ukraine too)
