Your preview of the Ukrainian election is an example of the current fashion to prepare ‘news’ about Ukraine in a ‘bad or nothing’ manner (“Vote could weaken ties to the EU”, 18-24 October). How could the vote possibly “weaken ties to the EU” when all the major political forces (except the Communist Party) have built their programmes around European integration? I would say that, whatever the result, this vote will be a vote of confidence in the European future of Ukraine.
