Channel 1? Isn't that the government channel that was to become public televison? So who bought it?
: In my opinion the strife is a symptom of the disease and not the actual disease. Each individual in the cabinet was busy in the pursuit of their own interests, fractures were developing around Tymoshenko as the March elections were getting closer and closer, her ambitions were growing, she has been very busy firing top officials and replacing them with people loyal to her, her power could only grow over time, she was in a direct conflict with Poroshenko over the media in Ukraine, control of the media is important in Ukraine, Poroshenko has channel 5, Tymoshenko managed to get channel 1 sold to one of her supporters, that's all she needed to start her party's campaign, this is a power struggle, that's all. My own observation is that there's not much solidarity here, I tried to start a neighborhood committee here without success, it was neighbor against neighbor, jealousy, anger, etc, there's not much love of one's fellow man in Ukraine.....
