In any corruption case dealing with politicians, always follow the money.

If YANUKOVICH is cutting the office holder's pay and getting rid of all the dead weight in government it sounds like he may be following Putin's example. Washington also needs to clean house and stop overpaying the do nothing carreer leeches in the government. Government corruption has become commonplace in governments around the world. Just look at the mess going on in the state of New York at this time. Also, can you imagine someone paying out one hundred million dollars of their own money just to be Mayor? This is so insane.

This most certainly comes as no surprise with Yulia Timoshenko's money habits Corruption,Laundering, and bribery this is certain grounds fro the New President of Ukraine to prosecute and take this "Iron Lady" to justice. Yulia has always claimed that Viktor Yanukovich always did fraud During Election's this is such folly, in the eye's of the International Observers looking at this past election run-off was completely genuine and fair, so obviously Yulia is the fraud but is in complete denial. I hope somehow or some way that President Viktor Yanukovich can find a way to peacefully and respectfully rid's himself of Yulia once and for all to have a totally new "Premier" in Ukraine one more fairer and one more peaceful for the great Citizen's of Ukraine, to never have to go through that same torment and divide that Yulia had created from within Ukraine. So lets see how Ukraine solves this problem and hopefully Ukrainians can put this bit of history behind them for good.

Kihnu I Agree! AMEN, AMEN [ means I believe, I believe.] The iron so-called lady should be behind IRON bars with only bread and water, "instead" the Oligarchies were backing her from the beginning of her entering politics Now suddenly Oligarchs appear spreading bribes to get her elected and hide her dirty deeds that harmed and continues to harm the good people of Ukraine! Of course you can trace the money trail from the Oligarachs to her and from the state funds to her and so on,...she made a lot of money for the Oligarchs and herself and the new president should spare no expense to uncover every penny!. But however it may be buried deeply.. well hidden. She is a "master" at money laundering, fraud, and most of all bribery!That is how she got to the top and do not forget the US president-Congress backing her funneling hundreds of million to help rip YANUKOVICH win of presidency las with last election..denying Ukrainians the rightful winner..The US backed her with millions via the US State Department [Democracy Fund] to keep the Orange Revelation secession going and a US friendly country to carry out US dirty deeds against Russia in particular. Note the international poll watchers did not find any fraud. Even before half the votes were counted Timoshenko took to the stage and declared the election was fair and honest and congratulated the Ukrainian people and that she had won. Her loss was a win for the entire region and defeat of US power.
