There is a huge power struggle going on in Ukraine. The country is completely divided. The risk of fraud is huge, the margin between candidates small. The whole ballot printing process is completely out of control, there will be counterfeit ballots. Ukraine is not ready to handle what is going to unfold before them. I like to be positive, but fear no one is going to give in, because no one will accept the result that is about to unfold, whatever it is. If all the political leaders do not agree a way forward NOW, then forward will not be an option, which would be the biggest crime to commit to the Ukrainian people. Thsi could be an impending disaster for Ukraine!
