Investments are returning to Russia and oil price has stabilized. <br /><br />I do not want to protect aggressive actions against Ukraine. But your article is an example of irresponsible approach. The West should facilitate Ukrainian cooperation with Russia rather than vice versa. Without Russian market, Ukraine would not survive.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27932062.post-25099564553271351482015-05-03T10:33:31.698+00:002015-05-03T10:33:31.698+00:00There is far-going censorship in Ukraine and candi...There is far-going censorship in Ukraine and candidates have repeatedly been harassed or beaten up. So free elections are at least as unlikely in the Kiev controlled part of Ukraine as in the rebel held part. Have a look in "pro-Russian" areas like Odessa and Kharkov to see what Ukrainian "democracy" really means.<br /><br />The new laws that make it punishable to speak badly of Ukrainian nazi's fit in a pattern. Even immediately after the "revolution" Ukraine's were more interested in polarizing measures like forbidding the Russian language than in economic reform.Wim Roffelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05950733237377413606noreply@blogger.com
