Yes..but it’s better now I understand. Still it’s no easy trick to flip an area from one nation to another. I think the Ukrainians thought it would also go more smoothly for them in Kiev and too those in the E. Uraine...all are suffering one way or anpther...but they’ve all been down that road before as well.

Ukraine’s got a newly formed coalition government now which unfortuantely includes a ‘Ministry of Information’...to ensure the information security” of the country. Which isn’t a good sign....Journalists and other critics mockingly call it the “Ministry of Truth”, saying that the ministry is a step backwards in media freedom.

So who knows how much news we’ll get that now tht isn’t government run...before it was run by the US....now I haven’t a clue except it’s the Gov. in place now.

Just read PM Yats has wared Rada that they are about to push through ‘heavy handed austerity reforms’, which won’t be popular.....That’s probably an understatement.
