Kostiantyn Matvienko writes: I happened to watch the opening of a park that symbolized victory over builders. It was on Peizazhna Alley in Kyiv’s oldest part, right over the legendary village of Honchari-Kozhumiaky (“Potters and Tanners”), already disfigured by architects and builders, practically at the territory of the National Historical Museum, near the foundations of the Tithe Church, the 400-year-old lime tree of Metropolitan Petro Mohyla, the remnants of Princess Olha’s rotunda, and an ancient rampart of the Prince Kyi era. There are about 300 “hot spots” in Kyiv, where bitter clashes continue between the builders and the Kyivites who defend their parks, children’s playgrounds, woodlands, islands, and river banks.

Taras Kuzio writes:In 2008 presidential candidate Arseniy Yatseniuk was seen as the new face of Ukrainian politics supporting a pro-Western foreign policy; but, this was before Ukrainians and Westerners had seen his program. Since last summer, his election program has positioned Yatseniuk as the candidate supporting an isolationist-nationalist third way, without deference to either Moscow or Brussels and Washington.

Jamestown Foundation opinion: Moscow backtracks from strategy to bypass Ukraine’s gas transit system
Vladimir Socor writes:Russian Energy Minister Sergei Shmatko declared on November 16 that the Nord Stream pipeline on the Baltic seabed would not be used for diverting gas volumes away from Ukraine’s transit pipelines to Europe. In effect, this statement acknowledges that the Nord Stream pipeline, from Russia directly to Germany, is not a Ukraine-bypass project (Interfax, November 16). Read the opinion here.

After making it to the quarter finals of the last World Cup, Ukraine failed to qualify for the next global soccer championships when it lost at home to Greece last week. Ukraine was in the “group of death” together with England and Croatia, and beat out the Croats in retribution for the 2002 European qualifiers, when the Croats did the same to the Ukes. When Slovenia beat Russia, the number of Slavic countries going to the finals fell even further. Croatia vs Ukraine? Slovenia vs Russia? Obviously, the soccer gods saw it fit to limit the number of Slavs in South Africa to Serbia, Slovenia, and Slovakia: three of thirteen countries who will take to the pitch for Europe in the 32-country global finals.
