It was the typical tactic of the Soviets, now brought back by Putin, to accuse anyone that disagreed with them a fascist, a Nazi, etc. Sad that so many here are so eager to adopt this approach. Of course, its saves having to address the fact that the Ukrainian people were fed up with a government led by a kleptocrat like Yanukovich, who working with Putin managed to loot $70 billion from the country and gut its military.
Yanukovitch is really no different than ANY of the Ukrainian leaders who proceeded him in the last twenty years. Do you really think the next government there is going to be any different?
Regions all over Europe are sick and tired of corrupt central governments taxing and regulating them to death and are voting for peaceful separation. Northern Italy, Scotland, Catalonia Spain, to name a few, and this movement is growing.
Given the illegitimacy and infighting of the illegitimate radical government in Kiev, why shouldn't each region of the Ukraine make its own decision on whether to stay or go?
