Russia's War Against Ukraine
OP-ED
Yuri Bender: A rude awakening to a new world order in Ukraine
Ukraine’s last full-time president, Viktor Yanukovich, fled his country to Russia in February. He feared the wrath of 46m citizens, after his riot police killed 100 anti-government protesters in the centre of Kiev. The previous incumbent, Viktor Yushchenko, was mysteriously poisoned and disfigured during his ultimately successful 2004 election campaign.
