If only this had been an isolated incident where a critic of the president gets assaulted (ex. Chornovol, Igor Lutsenko)

In America you must provide evidence to back up your accusations, where is the evidence the Ukrainian government was involved, much less the Russians?

In fact the Ukrainian police did a pretty good job catching the five men who forced the lady journalist Chornovol off the road and beat her up. The five are all still in custody awaiting trial. What more can a reasonable person ask the government to do in that situation?

As for the 'kidnapped' activist, the Ukrainian government was prevented by the 'pro-democracy' crowd from conducting an investigation and the 'victim' has fled the country rather than talk to police, so its anyone's guess what really happened.

Sounds like we have a regular Duranty here. The torture of Bulatov is consistent of the tactics practiced by the Donestk mafia, and President Yanukovich is its most prominent member. It was due to overwhelming international pressure against the Ukrainian government that Bulatov was able to escape further harm. The Ukrainian Interior Ministry launched an investigation against Bulatov and sought to remove him from the hospital where he was receiving care. His doctors and lawyer were successful in shining the spotlight on this outrageous behavior and he was lucky to leave and obtain medical treatment in Lithuania.
