The position of Russia and the European Union on Ukraine is quite similar in the case of Tymoshenko, as well as of gas and oil. It has been stated in the interview to the correspondent of 9 February BakuToday political scientist Boris Mežuev.
“The EU doesn’t like present-day Ukrainian elite, it also raised questions among Russia, says the expert. -However, there is no reason to believe that Ukraine could follow in the footsteps of Belarus. It seems to me that this case reminds EU history of Slovakia’s Prime Minister Vladimir Meč′âra. Meč′âr was, in fact, democratic leader, but at the same time clearly tapped out from the predominant one in Europe, the spirit of obedience “.
“I think that the question will be whether in Ukraine broadcasting authorities-political scientist, will it on post-Soviet political development or on the Belarusian way permanent extension of the power of the President. Movement in this direction is certainly is. Is podkapyvanie under Kuchma’s reform. Half, skorospelaâ Constitution, adopted under harsh conditions and is stamped under the blows of the opposition, was not subject to national pride, and the trades. For Ukraine, it is significant that no one is held for their political system as the value. In this situation, a strong desire to pull the blanket there are Presidents, especially having in stock its political party and the possibility of bribery of MPs. Ukraine could fall victim to this temptation. In this sense I’m even willing to take criticism of the EU “.
As we have informed, as reported BakuToday, 7 February, EU Ambassador to Ukraine Jose Manuel Pinto Teixeira said that European leaders do not see the point in conversation with Viktor Yanukovych, and added that the sanctions applied to Belarus, in the case of Ukraine will not be used. In response to that statement, the representative of the President in Verkhovna Rada Yuri Miroshnichenko declared that it did not consider that Ukraine is in isolation.
