Quote of the day
“English fans need to know that if they try to mess with Ukrainian women then we will try to mess with them. The sex industry exploits women who are so poor and often uneducated. That is why we are going to try to attack every match.”
Inna Shevchenko, a member of Femen, the women's group that stages topless protests against men who come to Ukraine for sex tourism.

Soccer in Donetsk, as much else in the city, is all about one man – Rinat Akhmetov. The oligarch’s millions propelled Shakhtar Donetsk to victory last season in European club soccer’s second most prestigious tournament, the UEFA Cup. He also put $400 million into the construction of the Donbas Arena, the most modern and largest stadium in Ukraine with a capacity of 50,000, which opened in August.

Of the four Ukrainian cities that were selected to host Euro 2012, Kyiv was the only one that had been assured of approval ahead of time by the Union of European Football Associations. Besides being the country’s capital, Kyiv is far ahead of Donetsk, Lviv and Kharkiv in terms of basic infrastructure requirements, such as hotels and transportation. It is also closer to sources of state financing. Dec 18, 2009 at 02:44 |

Freed from pirates on Dec. 10, the Ariana and its 24 Ukrainian crew members are still drifting along in the dark waters of the Indian Ocean. After seven months in the “pirates’ prison,” the Ukrainians are still not home free. The latest word is that the ship is out of fuel near the Somalian coast and awaiting supplies. No one knows whether the crew will be returned to Ukraine by New Year’s Day. Dec 18, 2009 at 02:24 | Nataliya Bugayova |

As the first presidential election in five years approaches on Jan. 17, pollsters and experts warn that voters will be bombarded by a sea of skewed sociological survey results intended to sway their choices. Often, such bogus polls seek to persuade voters that their preferred candidate has no chance of making it into a second-round runoff on Feb. 7, thereby encouraging votes for one of the front-runners. With such spin doctoring at play, Ukrainians need reliable surveys. The graphs and tables show polls conducted on Nov. 21-29 by trusted sources. The surveys were conducted by U.S.-based International Foundation for Electoral Systems and financed by the United States Agency for International Development. The data are representative of the national population of Ukraine and have a margin of error of plus or minus 2.5 percent. All the interviews were conducted in Ukrainian and Russian by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology (KIIS). Dec 17, 2009 at 23:52 |
