Monterrosa, I hope you are well.
I read an opinion article yesterday that suggested Crimea will become a “federal” enclave; much like Moscow and Saint Petersburg. Has your family mentioned that possibility? Has the government changed to the ruble yet? I had read that they would honor the Hrivnya for a period of time.
My best wishes, and prayers to you, and your family, my FRiend. Please let me know if there is anything that I can do to help.
When I was in Kiev in January, those I talked with thought the cold weather would terminate Maidan. It didn’t. The people in Maidan impressed me with their resilience. There are many good, freedom loving people in Ukraine. But you know that.

Wow, you’ve really been there recently! Thank you for your comments.
There were lots of dramatic moments on the plaza from face-offs with police to the Klitschko brothers appearing before the crowd, and finally a newly freed Yulia Tymoshenko addressing the people. Meanwhile our Prez cancels military programs and plans his next set of vacations.
