The history is this:
Yanukovych’s inauguration on 20 February 2010, the legitimacy of the election was questioned by many Ukrainians, international organizations, and foreign governments with allegations of electoral fraud. [Supreme Court later found election corrupted in East Ukraine]
Last Nov, the was a peaceful protest [Maidan, Kiev] because Yanukovych went back on his word to allow Ukraine to have an associated relationship with EU. When he discovered in Feb 2014 that he would be charged with “Crimes against humanity” in the Hague, he escaped in the night to Moscow. The Ukrainians then replaced him with an acting President.
They discovered multiple documents that had been attempted to first be destroyed by fire then could in the man-made lake. These documents are still being studied, but it had been determined that Putin had been infiltrating & corrupting government, military, and police. Putin also had planing invasion of Ukraine. Yanukovych had became VERY wealthy using off shore accounts as well as stashing gold.
[See: http://www.theguardian.com/world/video/2014/feb/24/ukraine-president-viktor-yanukovych-palace-video] Also, had zoo, casino in ‘pirate ship’ on man-made lake] with He tried to bribe (carried $60 million) his way our of he country for his escape at the airport but was denied. [Eventually, I understand he used a helicopter.]
However, the problem remains of removing these corrupt communist plants from their positions. [Parliament election this Fall.]
Those without inter inEast Ukraine are subject to 24/7 media propaganda from Russia. Yet, the farmers & miners strongly support a united Ukraine. Others, do support, but it is like being a Republican in NYC or Detroit... quietly!)
Now, however, this is radically changing as people are experiencing the truth.
Bottomline:
GOOD GUYS: Ukrainians that fight for the physical, moral and political integrity of their country.
BAD GUYS Anti-United Ukraine: The Communist saboteurs, Separatists, Drug/alcoholic city thugs paid mercenaries, the Cossack mercenaries..
thanks for the info... any predictions?
Bad guys outnumber good ones, have better weapon, skill and spirit? But why?
