Who’s to win in Ukraine?

Do you take any interest in the theme? Actually it’s vitally important for Germany and other EU countries ‘cause paradoxically it may sound we still in subordinate position relating Ukraine. She is staying our major transit gas route (hope North stream and South stream projects will change things for the better).
Meanwhile the quite humiliating dependence does take place.
Look, if I were among our smart guys in Brussels I would choose to be dependent rather on a predictable pragmatist able to patch up dilapidated economy of Ukraine (including its outdated gas pipe) at the fastest possible pace and not just at the EU’s expense (Ms Timoshenko has come into that bad habit).
          Well the fact that Mr Yanukovich is leading the presidential race in the Ukraine is actually good news for EU. According to a FT article the man has retained control of the eastern industrial heartland and enjoys the support of the key Ukrainian tycoons headed by Rinat Akhmetov (the Ukraine’s richest man).
