I am very surprised,Ukraine continues with the deficit crises barely surviving on borrowed money.If I am correct,Ukraine was one of Russian FRIENDS,that helped Georgia with radars and arms,on its war of aggression against an almost defenseless people.Ukraine Georgia and their Masters of the ZIONNATO Alliance,showed their displeasure Arrogance and contempt against what they called,Russian interference on the Georgian Nation Affairs,and all,kind more or less,threatened Russia if it was going to continue stationed in Georgia.But Apparently things have changed,not only for Ukraine,but as well Europe,that is having problems of their own.I come to the conclusion their problems are the result of their unjust Tyrannic policies, and it is time this Evil Alliance suffer the consequences.I am surprised as to why is it the Ukraine Fascist Masters that want it to join NATO,don,t pay for Ukraine gas and help them resolve their problems?It appears rather,the time has come,the ambitions of this Tyrannic ZIONNATO Alliance is threatened, by a force equal or superior to that of their own,and they simple can no longer cope,and can no longer Plunder,nor steal from others as they did before,and that is the reason they can no longer help or do things as once before.I am not surprised if soon Europe and the Master Alliance, have to face color revolutions, much different than those in the past.It is time all these allies face the consequences that are the result of their present and past actions. And Ukraine let them pay as well for the choosing of their leaders.

Though the Ukraine was an important part of the former Soviet Union, and is tied to Russia culturally, it is financially and politically unstable today. This could destabilise the region and even Europe.
