US, EU meddling in Ukraine battle ? RT Op-Edge

Nulland’s spokesperson issued the following statement: “We continue to support the aspirations of the Ukrainian people to achieve a prosperous European democracy. European integration is the surest course to economic growth and strengthening Ukraine’s democracy.” That was an undiplomatic intervention on the side of the protesters designed to embolden the opposition. It did indeed. Then on December 5 in Kiev, after her meeting with Vitaly Klitschko, Nulland declared, “There should be no doubt about where the United States stands on this. We stand with the people of Ukraine who see their future in Europe…”

A close friend of mine is in Kiev right now and he says it's absolute hell.

This is what police has been doing to the people since the 18th of February. For the last 3 days.

In 3 days more than 100 are dead, 1500 are injured.

Police also set on fire a makeshift hospital with injured protesters inside, burning them alive.

LiveLeak.com - RAW - Feb. 20 Kiev, Ukraine - Civillians picked off one by one by snipers.

Holy fuck this is sick.
Lol at all the idiots trying to justify using live ammo against people with sticks and wooden shields.

Well said.

I don't get this Putin worship. He's an authoritarian who is on the record as admiring Stalin and bemoaning the demise of the Soviet Union.

I'd rather live in our messy bumbling system than under an authoritarian regime like that. You'd think after the events of the 1st half of the 20thC people would not fall for the "strong man" stuff but they still seem to be drawn to authoritarians like moths to a flame.

As for the EU thing - all the EU has done is offer to open accession talks. Doesn't mean that Ukraine has to join the EU. Turkey is also in the accession process but it's very unlikely they'll join the EU.

Accession talks are really about harmonizing trade rules, allowing the accession country access to the market without tariffs, and it allows the EU to send them some money. (That's the only way the EU can send funds, the treaties don't allow them to do it any other way - the member states can send money to whomever they want, but the EU itself can only send money within the union and to countries in accession talks).

As to why on earth the EU would want to send money - just to stabalize countries on the EU's borders. It's bad having poor desperate countries on the borders. Poland for example has loads of desperate Ukrainian migrants in their country and the Poles were the leading advocates of starting accession talks with Ukraine because they badly want that country stabalized.
 
Wow. Impressive news all over. Congrats Ukrainians, you are one badass nation, and I wish you a smooth and smart transition period!

Some Pics and English text from Kyiv,
some cool ones from the residence of the fled president

Oh an returning to the subject of the thread - Klitschko might wanna find a secondary role, since the "white queen" is out of jail.
 
Although some people support Tymoshenko, she's going to bring more of the same to the people of Ukraine.

Right now the people of Ukraine are trying to purge the country of the corrupt officials.

This was the head of customs in the border city of Chop, he pleaded guilty of bribery and carrying out major criminal schemes.
