If the Euro 2012 started tomorrow, tens of thousands of visitors from all over the world would arrive in Kyiv. Most of them will come to the heart of modern-day Ukraine: Maidan Nezalezhnosti or Independence Square. When visitors come to this place many they will remember the courageous protests during the 2004 Orange Revolution and for some, even the student protests and hunger strikes during the downfall of the Soviet Union in 1990. Many others, perhaps not as well-versed in history, will come to the square simply because it is one of the nicest places in Kyiv to sit, rest, people-watch, grab a snack and buy souvenirs.

Dear Editor, On behalf of Black Iron Inc. (“Black Iron” or the “Company”), our shareholders, and your interested readership, we would like to express our concern over how the company has been portrayed in your recent editorial pieces and provide you with an appropriate introduction and true facts. ( Dec. 2 story"American TV personalities arrive to polish image of Ukraine's politicians" and Dec. 2 story "King bootlicker.") We believe we are in the process of building something of significance for our shareholders, and just as importantly, creating a major opportunity for Ukraine. To our knowledge this Project will be the largest foreign investment in Ukraine for a Greenfield (i.e. new) mine to date. Construction and daily operation of the mine will result in substantial job creation plus tens of millions in new tax revenues for the country. Dec 13, 2011 at 16:10 |

In a recent Kyiv Post article, a colleague, Taras Kuzio, has called for a Ukrainian diaspora boycott of Ukrainian embassy events in protest of the trial of [ex-Prime Minister] Yulia Tymoshenko and her Aug. 5 arrest. Although I wholeheartedly share his deep concern with the regression of the rule of law in Ukraine, I most respectfully do not concur in the notion that boycotts of Ukrainian diplomatic events are the appropriate response.

Dear Editor: In the light of recent developments in Ukraine, specifically the imprisonment of ex-Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko and ex-Interior Minister Yuriy Lutsenko, as well as up to 50 other political prisoners, I call upon Ukrainians in the United States, Canada and elsewhere to boycott official events and celebrations at Ukrainian embassies.

Dear Editor: The current treatment of [ex-Prime Minister] Yulia Tymoshenko is unfair. It matters not if you support her party or opinions. The actions against her are harbinger of things to come and does not bode well for the citizens of Ukraine. Aug 9, 2011 at 17:32 | Joseph Gregg |

To the Editor: I am amazed at the continual slide of Ukraine towards the same establishment of government as that of Belarus! The part that worries me is that the people do not seem to realize it or are just too numb to stand up after the last five years of failed government. Mar 31, 2011 at 22:08 | Ben Powell |

Editor’s Note: The following is a statement issued on March 2 by the New York City-based Committee to Protect Journalists regarding what appears to be a continued coverup by Ukrainian authorities in the 10-year murder of Ukrainian journalist Georgy Gongadze. Mar 3, 2011 at 23:59 | Kyiv Post |

Editor’s Note: George Friedman, chief executive officer of Stratfor, a geopolitical risk analysis company based in Austin, Texas, traveled recently to Turkey, Moldova, Romania, Ukraine and Poland. In this installment, Friedman – whose organization is a partner of the Kyiv Post – shared his observations about Poland, Ukraine's western neighbor and close ally.

Editor’s Note: On Dec. 14, in response to a libel lawsuit filed against the Kyiv Post in London, the newspaper blocked United Kingdom users from accessing its website because British courts have taken a wide interpretation of jurisdiction, allowing foreigners to bring lawsuits for anything on the Internet that is accessible to U.K. readers. The libel law is draconian in its restrictions on free speech. A movement is under way for change. More information can be found here. Jan 13, 2011 at 23:10 | Kyiv Post |

Dear Editor, I was disappointed to read the Kyiv Post’s Nov. 5 opinion piece “Rule of lawlessness prevails in this nation.” The piece seems to reflect a misunderstanding of the remarks made by U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine John F. Tefft and the chief of party of the USAID Ukraine Rule of Law Project, David Vaughn, at the Oct. 26-27 USAID Ukraine Rule of Law conference. Nov 12, 2010 at 00:13 |
