: and with newly elected president the situation can get changed to worse.
: I would just say,that ALMOST ALL THE PROBLEMS OF UKRAINE are caused by the nationalistic policies.The population did decrease from 52mln in 1991 to 49mln this year,the Ukrainian women prefer to marry 99yo US men with shaking sticky hands,because the life with those men is better though than that in" independent"
: Ukraine. Concerning the 20 official languages-that's nonsense,you know,that only 2 of them are widely spoken and used.Neither you can compare Ukraine WITH THE MELTING POTS LIKE AUSTRALIA,US,whatever.In EUROPE it should be done the EUROPEAN WAY-like in Sweden,Finland,Spain(castellano,euskera,catalan,gallego-4! languages),Belgium. THE HUGE CRIME RATE IS CAUSED BY POVERTY AND LIBERAL VALUES,and those values were brougt to the Ukraine due to its "independence".
: : : You probably live abroad without knowing the whole truth.
: : I wasn't living abroad until 1998, and I still think Anonimous is right.
: : :And the people of Crimea and Donbass hate the ones in the Western Ukraine.
: : Hmm,how strange, I don't seem to notice it in Canada between people that came two or less years ago. Normal people don't see much of a difference. Nazis also said that Germans hated Jews, it was true only with the Nazis themselves.
: : : The country is weak,
: : True, but getting more dependent on Russia only weakens it more.
: : :dependable even more,than being a Soviet republic,
: : It's a nonsence.
: : :fragile and with a high crime rate.Here you go with your MOVA...
: : Russia is also weak, dependable, more fragile than any other country in the region and has a high crime rate, yet you don't blame YAZYK. How come?
: : Ihor
You should examine the motive and theory of Soviet union,communist leaders lived in high standart. People lived low standart.They over produced high caliber weapons,and produced lower quality utilities and lack of them.Union isolated people with iron curtain from the reality and the real world.People were and are highly educated,but no knowledge of life in free world. Economy started to fail union boke up.Now you have 15 independed republics,people thought we are free no more problems.Well freedom is not cheap: it requiers hard work and good knowledgable thinking about and for the future of the country and most important "Unity of People"But many people took advantage of the freedom and still are,for their own gain (Corruption) so the honest people are and will suffer for a long time.Ifin when people that live in the country, object to the constution of the country and trying to help some other country(in this case Russia) to gain foothold their (Ukraine) country.What do you think will happen in the future.As much as I know about people or maybe as little,I know one thing.I do not care how many ethnic groups there are in the country,if minority group gets their way,plus support from powerful country,it spels trouble.If it not the language then it will be something new,else all the time.No matter how many ethnic groups live in the country and how many languages they speak. Unity of the people and support for the country,at hard times no ends or buts,in the future that country will be one of the great countries.Just like most European,and good old United States.
