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.

"It's ramping up to be the biggest tender Ukraine has ever held and a potential game-changer for an economy struggling to break its dependency on increasingly expensive imports of Russian natural gas," Roman Olearchyk writes in a Feb. 29 report for the Financial Times. Feb 29 at 19:30 | Kyiv Post |

In a Feb. 27 Financial Times report, Roman Olearchyk writes: “A Kyiv court on Monday sentenced Yuriy Lutsenko, an opposition politician and former interior minister, to four years in prison for embezzlement and charges of abuse of office. After the seven-year sentence handed to Yulia Tymoshenko, opposition leader in October, the ruling is expected to further strain Ukraine’s relations with the European Union and the U.S.” Feb 27 at 18:55 | Kyiv Post |

In a Feb. 23 Financial Times report, Roman Olearchyk and Guy Chazan write: “Ukraine has become the latest European country to open up its shale gas reserves to exploration, a move that could help to reduce its heavy dependence on increasingly expensive gas imports from its eastern neighbor Russia.” According to the report, Ukraine’s government said it had launched two separate tenders for rights to explore for unconventional gas in two vast areas. The projects, according to the American Chamber of Commerce in Ukraine, could attract “multi-billion dollar investments” and help the nation become more energy independent.

In a Feb. 22 report for the Financial Times, Roman Olearchyk writes: "Ukraine’s jailed opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko is ill, in pain and not receiving proper medical care, according to a foreign doctor who examined her last week as part of an independent humanitarian mission organised by western governments." The report continues: “Though Ms Tymoshenko’s family and lawyers have repeatedly made such assertions, comments by the doctor – one of a group of five to examine her – amount to the first independent confirmation that Ms Tymoshenko is ill and suffering in prison. It could further strain relations between the west and Ukraine’s president Viktor Yanukovich, already under fire for allegedly persecuting rivals as part of a broader rollback of democracy.” Feb 22 at 19:44 | Roman Olearchyk |

NewEurope, a European publication that focuses on politics, reported on Feb. 19 that doctors from Canada and Germany completed a medical examination of Ukraine’s jailed opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko last week and left the country. But although their findings have not been made public, domestic authorities claim that she faces no serious health risks. Meanwhile, her supporters claim that her health is at risk.

James Marson writes: "A medical examination of jailed former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko by Western doctors has shown she is suffering from a hernia for which she hasn't received the necessary treatment, her daughter and Western officials said." Feb 19 at 20:58 | James Marson |

Tom Lyons writes:“Bankrupt ex-billionaire Sean Quinn personally guaranteed his friends, associates and family when they piled into the €75 million acquisition of a high-risk office building in Kyiv in the Ukraine in 2006.” Feb 19 at 09:54 | Kyiv Post |

"It’s looking less and less likely that Ukraine, its fragile economy bracing for a eurozone-driven slowdown, will get a boost of confidence and cash any time soon from the International Monetary Fund," Roman Olearchyk wrorte in the Financial Times. Feb 14 at 17:17 | Roman Olearchyk |

Roman Olearchyk writes:"A eurozone recession this year appears pretty certain, but its possible impact on the volatile economy of Ukraine remains very unclear. A smallish swing in the west tends to trigger much larger shifts on the Dnipro River. Still fresh in memory is the whopping 15 per cent GDP contraction experienced during the 2009 global recession. The country remains deeply vulnerable to global shocks – not least those triggered by the eurozone – due to its dependence of on commodity exports, starting with steel."
