Yanukovych cautions against splitting Ukrainian society
2004-12-17
Ukrainian presidential candidate Viktor Yanukovych has cautioned the international community and foreign political leaders against moves that may split the country's political elite.
A bit late for that, isn't it? Shoulda thought about that before you poisoned anybody...
Yanukovych's statement, which, among other issues, suggests a number of ways to pull the country out of its political crisis, was circulated by his election headquarters on Thursday. "Frankly speaking, I am very surprised by the short-sighted position of European nations that are continuing to apply here, in Europe, their sophisticated political technologies based on methods typical of totalitarian sects. It is like setting fire to your neighbor's barn that shares a wall with your house," he said

#3  Yeah--looks like Yanukovych set fire to his neighbor's barn (poisoning Yushchenko ) and forgot that his own house was next door.

I'm for a free Ukraine, and the Russian contingency there are a bunch of liars and controllers (hey, what a surprise, huh . . . ).

Anybody else in Rantburg land wearing orange for the holidays?
