Look even Putin didn’t like Yanukovich nor the way he was governing Ukraine....that’s just an established fact. At best he tolerated him.
Ynaukovich choice for “euroasia” over “the EU” proposal was there were no strings on Ukraine’s governing going with Russia as well as other considerations. Even after Yanukovich agreed to the Maidens terms, including early elections, they refused and tore into the Government building as a coup.
The whole thing broke open .....with both sides using thugs...which is also an established fact.
I understand why Putin zoomed in on Crimea......and pushed for the referendum to happen quickly....we would have done the same thing and have in the past.
This is going to end up with Ukraine being neutral once again....doing business with Eu and Russia....but there will be no entry into the EU economically nor Nato any time soon at all. The best they can get they got...Economical Agreement with the EU......and least we forgot the down payment for their gold being shipped out to the USA for any funding that comes into their nation.
Sorry ..I meant “Political Agreement with EU
Please note ... We will not get through security to do it the same as before ... never happens.
