UKRAINIANS KNOW WHAT THEY WANT AND NEED !

The Ukrainian people have this week clearly expressed what they really want, which is the chance of a possible entry into the EU !

To put it another way, they want to escape from the domination or grip which Russia has on them !  They want the freedom which comes when a country or its citizens can freely decide what they want to do or attain !

To be even more precise, what Ukrainian electors now really want is a vote, a vote to decide their political future !  It seemed clear before but at the last moment after talks in Russia, Prime Minister AZAROV and President YANUKOVYCH decided not to quit the domination of Russia !

Their fear was the threat by Russia to cut supplies of gas required to combat the cold of the winter in 2013/4 !  Russia has already carried out such a threat in the past, in 2006 and 2009 ! 

Mass protests can be expected in Kiev's "Independence Square" this weekend !  It is to be hoped that the presence of Vitali Klitschko, the World Boxing Champion, will inspire his countrymen.

One must also hope that the EU is already prepared to help with Winter Fuel.  Russia, or Putin, have already played their final cards on this subject !
