"In the meantime, what do you think the US can/should be doing with regard to the Ukraine elections?"
You should read Golitsyn's New Lies For Old first IMO.
The US needs to expose the phony collapse of the Soviet Union, that the Red Chinese are in on it and working together with the Soviets...solution, cut off all aid and trade with both, watch them both crumble like a house of cards. Ukraine is a side issue...but our intel. services should approach it with a mind to expose all secret structures connecting the current political leadership (to include elements of the oppositions) to Moscow.
BTW, here is an excellent backgrounder on the book(s) you are about to read.
