Ukraine Update

Well, I haven't posted much on Ukraine for a while. Things are progressing nicely, with Parliament firing the Yanukovich government yesterday. There has also been a good bit of silliness on his part: "Yanukovych yesterday seems to have had a bit of a breakdown. The Minister of Transportation finally jumped ship and said he wasn't going to stick with Yanukovych any longer. Yanukovych responded to this by kicking the guy in the nuts." From Orange Ukraine Reportedly one of the Eastern Oligarchs also got off a plane and punched Yanukovych in the face for wasting all the money he gave the PM to steal the election. Kinda sad, but funny at the same time. Anyway: some good links - First check out Orange Ukraine up there, and this excellent story from the Moscow Times. Fistful of Euros continues with good updates. Once you get into these sites you can find the real juicy stuff - I'm just here as a gateway for people like my mom, whose blogosphere savvy is somewhat limited.
