(....”My family participated at the Maidan, my uncle and his family live in Kyiv and were among the many average Ukrainians who were simply fed up”.....)
What’s happening in Ukraine has little to do with the “average Ukranians”, aside from the protests and fighting when and if it comes. And they lost control of the protest relatively early on. Who do you think was providing the funding for this? We know that some of the oligarchs were, as well those who wanted revege for Putin kicking them out. We also know the US/Eu were providing funding......but only to depose of the Governing powers so they can shift Ukraine back on “their” track.
As mentioned before..the deal was sealed and we see it playing out so:
Russia has Crimea and Ukraine’s oil off Crimea...and possible the EAstern cities as this continues to the next phase.
US has Ukraines gold, shipped out in the dead of night no less, (thanks to Yats), which is a down-payment for US revenues massed into Ukraine for the Revolution and any other investment. Ukraine won’t be getting that back.
EU has it’s economic trade deal, without having to take on Ukraine’s debtload, and the IMF along with the EU will be calling the shots of asterity.
So now Ukraine has three boots on it’s neck. Would be nice to imagine they’d be generous to the people. But so far that hasn’t, nor does it look to happen. Ukraine will have to find it’s way out with the “tools” given it to dig with. But the digging they will have to do for many many years....
My guess is there will be yet another protest in the near future, once they all get their second wind, the current affairs are barely over if that.
Further the Presidents running are all part and parcel of the same old school house....Ukraine’s come full circle, again.
Once again, what you are posting is a,lot of nonsense, the desperate need for there to be some sort of major conspiracy is laughable. There are a great deal of changes occurring in the new government structure, there will be elections, Timochenko wont win, it will be an all new government that is free of Rusdian control and manipulation, it wont have a government that is working actively to destroy the interests of its people, to weaken the military, empower a select group of jackbooted Berkut thugs, Ukraine will finally have a chance at a freer future, it may be good, it may be bad, but the decisions will be made by Ukrainans with the best interests of Ukraine in mind, not Russian puppets with the best interests of Putin in mind.
