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.

Ukraine is once more getting into a mess. Part of the problem is political, part of it is economic, and part is a combination of the two. On top of which Ukraine has one of the most severe demographic problems in the CEE, which is itself a region of severe demographic problems. Read full report here. Mar 1 at 08:23 |

Rather than tackle the fact that Ukraine has the third most complex tax systems in the world the government decides to renovate mansions belonging to leading politicians. Whilst the opposition blocks President Viktor Yanukovych's constitutional reform, the Constitution Court decides that journalistic coverage of political figures is illegal.

The urgent need traditionally expressed by Ukraine’s leaders to “improve the country’s image” abroad just when everything is falling apart can often appear comical. Humor is, however, thin on the ground when large amounts of taxpayers’ money are spent on efforts to conceal or do a cosmetic job on systematic destruction of democratic institutions and mockery of the rule of law.

While Ukraine’s new millionaire finance minister works on assuaging fears that the country may be hurtling towards default, other members of the government and ruling majority in parliament clearly have much weightier problems. Feb 28 at 13:03 | Halya Coynash |

In a letter to the editor of the Financial Times, Volodymyr Khandogiy, Ambassador of Ukraine to the UK, writes: As far as Yulia Tymoshenko’s health is concerned I would like to emphasise that Ukrainian officials never “played down” this issue as suggested by Mr Olearchyk. Moreover, Ukraine has always been supportive in organising the joint International Medical Commission with the participation of Canadian and German specialists. Read full letter here.

Nearly five years after launching at the peak of Ukraine’s property market boom, one of the country’s leading real estate funds is struggling to reassure dismayed shareholders after the decision to spend third of the fund’s money on buying small farm plots has not worked out as well as expected. It doesn’t help that the overall real estate sector in Ukraine tanked in 2009-10, either. What are the prospects of a recovery? Read the story here. Feb 23 at 15:56 |

Relations between the Kremlin and Kyiv are at a new low after serious gas shortages in Europe this winter. In a Q&A, Olga Shumylo-Tapiola examines energy relations between Russia and Ukraine, the potential for this latest conflict to escalate, and the implications for EU-Ukraine relations. Shumylo-Tapiola says amendments to the bilateral gas deal are unlikely before Russia’s presidential elections and that Ukraine needs to be doing more to reduce its dependence on Russian natural gas. Russia and Ukraine are engaged in protracted negotiations over a gas deal originally concluded in 2009 by Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin and then Ukrainian prime minister Yulia Tymoshenko.

The Regionnaires’ inability to understand just what freedom is and how it works was amply on display in the last few weeks. With something that elementary beyond their grasp, it’s small wonder that President Yanukovych and his pals invariably elicit eye-rolling, groans, and grins when they pontificate about such things as free speech and civil society.

I wrote in a recent posting for this blog that Europe’s troubles and Russia’s turbulence herald an “unhappy new year” for Viktor Yanukovych and the Regionnaires. Let’s up the ante and ask what the European Union’s meltdown and Russia’s breakdown might mean for Ukraine. Both possibilities may still strike us as unlikely, but, in contrast to the conventional wisdom that ruled over the last decade, they’re no longer unimaginable. Indeed, one can easily imagine the EU’s transformation into a loose economic association without political aspirations or a tight political-economic entity under German leadership. And one can just as easily imagine Russia’s experiencing popular uprisings, coups d’etat, and regional secessionist movements that would make it a weak, brittle, and possibly even failed state.
