Ugh!....neither 'side' is completely 'clean'. I think there are average Ukrainians who only want democratic changes and not to be ruled by stealth via Moscow - but they seem to be polluted by the ultra-right; some in the Ukrainian government and country feel a close[r] economic connection to Russia serves the country and historic roots - but are blind to the demands of many of their countrymen to be independent of Russia. Then the EU wants its pound of flesh. Its a mess, and Big Powers on all sides are playing it as a chess game - and to hell with the average Ukrainian pawns. S.N.A.F.U. ::
