“Ultimately this is the result of the failure of the government to act democratically” and to engage in dialogue and fight corruption, Gorbachev said during an address to a forum on government communications in the city of Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates. He added that the root cause of the unrest in Ukraine was an “interruption of perestroika,” referring to his reform policies, and of the democratic process there.Gorby appears to be attributing this to Putin's interference in Ukraine's affairs, in which case he's 100 percent correct. That should pretty much seal Gorby's deal, right there.
Not the EUSSR’s interference?
Note the two powers vying for the Ukraine here. Look familiar?
