Viktor Yushchenko Winding Down
Things are looking pretty bad for the Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko. Following Dmitry Medvedev’s direct attack on his candidacy, Russia has successfully made itself indispensable in this election … it seems they have learned from the last time. These comments from Yushchenko reported in the Financial Times makes it appear as though he is winding down, getting a few last punches in before he is tossed from office. Usually it’s moments like these when we hear the most interesting things.
Mr Yushchenko said: “We are witnesses of how the politics of totalitarianism is reaching its apogee against the principles of democracy, sovereignty and territorial integrity. Georgia is a sign of how, unfortunately, the Pan European community did not stand up to defend these fundamental principles. It’s was a setback,” he said.
