A little short Ukrainians whether from the east or the west of the country self identify as Ukrainians. This protest has moved from a trade agreement issue to a protest about the corruption of the Yanukovich government and personal freedom generally
Yanukovich may wind up being “Ceaucescued”
The trade agreement was Putins and Yanukovich’s , who is Putins man. The election was felt to be stolen in the first place. The “self_Identified” Ukrainians were opposed to Yanchovich right from the start.....
I doubt Yanchovich will last long at the rate this is playing out...but the threat is if the Gov. doesn’t get control of these demonstrations Ukraine will split.
