Let us hope that common sense prevails in the Ukraine

WE have all seen the vicious clashes between some of the Ukrainian people and their former president.

Why are they all fighting? Well, from my reading of it all, after WWII Ukraine was one of those countries Europe messed up to try and stop Russia and Communism spreading. Russia liked Ukraine and sent lots of Russians over to start up their own lives there. Then of course, anti-dictator, pro-democracy people moved into western Ukraine. Hence, the division today.

Basically, as Europe was trying to bring the Ukraine into the Union the Ukrainians, well some, were thrilled. Their president Yanukovich was about to sign the treaty when Putin said ‘if you do that, we will take out our funding and you won’t get good oil prices anymore’. So the president backed out, causing huge uproar which left 77 dead and many more wounded.
