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.

Gaining independence in 1991, Ukraine is still a matter of concern - not with its own issues but with the big powers struggling over its geography. The process that began with the 2004 elections and continued with the repeatedelections in January 2005, called the Orange Revolution, meant more than the transformation of power in this country.

In an astonishing sign of the warming in ties between Russia and Ukraine since Viktor Yanukovych became president in February, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has proposed in a meeting with his Ukrainian counterpart Mykola Azarov that the two countries' gas monopolies should form a joint venture as a way to smooth energy relations between the two.

Catherine Belton in Moscow and Roman Olearchyk in Kyiv write: Moscow has been moving quickly to try to seize the "commanding heights" of Ukraine's economy since the west-leaning Viktor Yushchenko was defeated in elections in February. Yesterday's offer to merger Ukraine's state gas company, Naftogaz, into Russia's Gazprom, took the Ukrainian side by surprise and prompted the pro-western opposition to condemn it as an attempt effectively to take economic control of the former Soviet vassal state.

Ellen Barry wrote: Prime Minister Vladimir V. Putin of Russia on Friday suggested merging Ukraine’s national energy company with the Russian gas giant Gazprom, a move that, if approved in Kyiv, would put Ukraine’s strategic network of gas pipelines under Moscow’s control. Mr. Putin shocked many — including, apparently, his Ukrainian counterpart — by announcing the proposal at a news conference after talks in the Russian resort city of Sochi. May 1, 2010 at 09:19 |

In February, Viktor Yushchenko vacated the Ukrainian presidency after a single five-year term that was plagued by political infighting, mounting hostilities with Moscow, and a bitter fallout with Orange Revolution ally Yulia Tymoshenko. In his place is the man he bested in 2004, Viktor Yanukovych, who has moved with breathtaking speed to roll back many of Yushchenko's pro-Western reforms. Yushchenko joined Iryna Shtohrin in RFE/RL's Kyiv bureau this week for a live call-in show to talk about his opinion of Ukraine's path under Yanukovych.

It was never likely that Russia’s campaign to reassert its influence in Ukraine would end with last week’s deals for cheap gas, investments and agreement over a Black Sea naval base. However, today’s news that Moscow is proposing for Gazprom to take over Ukraine’s Naftogaz state gas company comes as a shock. To be moving so far and so fast shows how serious Vladimir Putin, the Russian prime minister, is about reinforcing Moscow’s power in the former Soviet Union. Apr 30, 2010 at 22:18 |

Catherine Belton in Moscow and Roman Olearchyk in Kyiv write: Vladimir Putin on April 30 proposed a merger between Russia’s energy giant Gazprom and rival Naftogaz Ukraine as part of further efforts to integrate the two neighbors that some fear could see Russia take effective economic control over its neighbor. But his comments appeared to take the Ukrainian leadership by surprise and could face far greater opposition than the Black Sea fleet deal which caused uproar in the Ukrainian parliament this week as opposition politicians threw eggs and set off smoke bombs in response to the parliament’s ratification of the deal.
