Russia "seriously worried" about Ukraine policies

Russia is not about to invade Ukraine.Ukraine is not about to give up it's hopes for EU integration.Mr. Abu Parker your an idiot and I'm a Canadian living and working in the capital of UA.I just finished a meeting with a very high member of the UA National Security no more than an hour ago.UA is in good hands and will not do anything but what is best for UA.Everyone should really relax.This is not about oil or gas....Georgia.please people think geopolitically not with your emotions.

I am amazed at the ideological tint of the most comments! It seems that one cannot have any conversation on any topic without being squashed by the ideological crazies Any country living next to a powerful neighbor needs to understand the need for peacefull, cooperative and mutually beneficial relatonship. This is why Finland lived well during Cold War. Any country that deludes itself that it can poke at, or even endanger its many times more powerfull neighbor, has lost its mind. Ukraine needs to mind its own business, and let go of the inflated ideas of its own "valuable" geopolitical position and flirtations with NATO.. President's position is downright juvenile. It would be more advisable for Ukraine to follow the policy of Turkey. Turkey is not blaming Russia, but building trade and energy cooperation to the tune of 50 billion dollars, 2.5 million Russian turists this year, etc. This is why Turkey will become regional power, while Ukraine wallows in its provincialism.

Finland lived well during the cold war because they killed 500,000 soviet troops to 90,000 in the Winter War.

When you kick the bully's ass once, he usually disappears.

Time to kick it again.

I really feel sad for your poisoned mind.

Which country has the biggest concentration camps in history? What? Hello?

Ukraine does not need to "bow down" to the despot, Vladimir Putin. Stand up to him now and not wait till he has time to make a move toward subjecting Ukraine to domination again.

Good people of the world wlii stand with Ukraine.

hello

UA Admirer put forth a well written post. I hope diplomacy prevails, and combat is never required. Economic strength is what the UA needs most now.

Unfortunately, the UA is it's own worse enemy. Corrupt government officials have caused foreign direct investment (FDI) to go into a negative trend, with $250MM in FDI withdrawn over the past 2 years.

Mr Abu Parker seems to me a delusional Russian shill still spouting the same old cold war propaganda. No emperical data or facts to support his position. Just hot wind and name calling.
Here's some facts for you Abu.

It is apparent, the UA's dependence upon Russia for energy allowed Putin to strong-arm the Sevastapol lease extension. Russia also negotiated the UA's acceptance of backdated higher energy prices and billions in debt associated with those inflated prices. Just to add insult to injury, Putin's team forced the UA to sell most of it's Navy for the price of one vessel.

How is that for good old fashioned Russian colonialism?

I agree with everyone, except Mr. Abu Parker. I think it's high time that Ukraine took a strong position as a sovereign country, independent of Russia. If you keep being afraid of Russia, you'll always be dominated by what you're afraid of. Look at the courageous Finns in the past (with the population at that time of only less than 5 million) who fought back Stalin during/after WW II such that they were able to escape from being integrated into the Soviet bloc after WW II. Also, look at the Czech politicians/people now, who've been taking a high-profile vocal position against violations of democracy, sovereignty, and humanitarian issues worldwide. The Czech has even planned ahead of time to diversify its energy sources so that it doesn't have to depend solely on Russia. So Ukraine should try to align more with the West, diversify your energy sources, protect your own territory, and promote the use of your own Ukrainian language all over the country as the only official language.

The EU uses the US for the UN to get the NWO ... New World Order

Perhaps the US should recognise Chechnya as an independent country? I wonder how Russia would react.

Ukraine is crazy to align itself with a morally bankrupt and emotionally retarded United Snakes of America. With a ever-growing budget deficit, very soon the US will be unable to prop up its puppet states (like UA) around the world, and then what will UA do? Ejecting Russia's Black Sea fleet from Sevastopol might eventually cost UA all of Crimea, just as the puppet regime of Saaskavili just lost parts of its country. As a frequent traveller to UA, and with many friends there, I wish the people of UA only the best, but their corrupts politicians' propensity for sucking up to a declining colonial empire will eventually be their unfortunate downfall. But my best wishes will always be with the people of Ukraine!

You don't think of Russia, to use your words, as a "declining colonial empire"???? If the European Union were bolder in their actions in protecting their own interests, the US wouldn't have to get involved at all.

Morally bankrupt? This from a Canook who's apostate country allows sodomites to publically "wed"??
Get a grip!
Ukraine is a sovereign nation - RUSSIA GET OUT!

Why is the EU so afraid of Putin & Co?
Let Ukraine and the EU cut-off Russian-supplied gas and GASPROM and MotherMoscow will be forced to deal. Who else is going to buy russian gas? North Korea?

To Mr. Abu B Parker
Your simple mind must realize that if it were not for the USA we in Canada may be speaking Russian today............but maybe that is what you wish, and if so you need to leave Canada, now

Also as a frequent traveller to Ukrainia, it is the best interest of my beloved Ukrainia to align themselves with the USA and UK. I am not going to denounce Canada, I respect Canada, especially for their fighting men and women efforts in Afghanstan. But don't bite the hand that feeds you. You may hate the USA, but we are the ones that will come to the aid of my beloved Ukrainia against their soviet or sorry russian overlords. I guess it is hard to see the difference, as they both come from the same bolt of cloth. I guess freedom of speech, freedom of religion, right to free assembly and right to face your accusser are all signs of a morally corrupt society. The USSR will never be back, Moscow will become a parking lot before that is allowed to happen again.

Glad to see Ukraine Standing up to Russia. We should do all we can to support her.
