: 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.....
Ukrainians must respect the businessman who is creating jobs even though he is out to get rich himself. Poroshenko the owner of the famous "ROSHEN" brand of chocolates deserves praise
As to Ukrainian girls with cellphones, they probably either have local wealthy patrons, foreign 'boyfriends' who will part with their cash the moment a girl smiles at them, friends sending them cash from places like Dubai, Turkey, Israel or Greece, or they are part of the local elite.
Typically these girls are seen walking very quickly, with a cellphone pressed against their ears
