Teixeira: Yanukovych's recent attempts to make visit to Brussels fail

Precisely... Yanu could no longer have his cake and eat it too... not with the E.U. anyway. Now he is back sitting on the fence and trying to play the Russians in order to make E.U. jealous or scared that Ukraine is running back into the sphere of the Russians. In reality Yanu never cut the cord with the Russians but yet really just wandered or took a little stroll on his own. The Russian grip is still quite firm on Yanu and his cronnies and without the E.U. as a partner and future Ukraine will eventually fall right back into the full control of Moscow. Yanu will get his clock cleaned by Putin and be forced to fall back in line or be replaced with someone who will. It is evitable and there are no signs or indications of anything else. The Ukrainian people seemed resigned to let what ever happens happen rather than chart and claim their own destiny. To again be servants of the Russians is repulsive and very undesirable and the history of Russian dominance over Ukraine is about to be repeated so why is there no extreme outrage going on in the Ukrainian society? Ukrainians would rather have dictators and lying thieves control their lives and country rather than unite and control their own destiny? That's basically what we are talking about.... It is so very strange?

Ukraine will never be a free independent democratic state as long as it is beholden to presidential rule. EU membership should be contingent on a Sate adopting and maintaining a full Parliamentary system of government and the removal of presidential authority.

The Ukrainian people are much like the Russian people. They are sheep and are only concerned about their individual selves first. The corruption is ingrained into their entire society!!!!!

HECROR !!!! EXACTLY CORRECT.......Ukraine people lack the courage and foresight for any change, They deserve no better......The Ukrainian people are much like the Russian people. They are sheep and are only concerned about their individual selves first. The corruption is ingrained into their entire society!!!!!

What Mr Teixeira is trying to say is EU's ORDERS to Mr Yanukovich were dismissed out of hand, hence EU's shock and dismay that someone has the gall to ignore them.
