BBA: Political Crisis In Ukraine Will Remain
•The political crisis will remain because it is only a mirror of a more deep social conflict behind the scene. Ukraine is socially divided into two pieces. East supports Russia’ candidates and way of living, while western part of Ukraine supports US. Yuschenko reflects western part of Ukraine, while Yanukovich reflects eastern part. Timoshenko is the one who is always in the middle. Her choice is likely to be the strongest side. This partly explains why she started a campaign against Yushenko. We do not exclude the possibility of her joining Yanukovich’s side after the elections. But that is not the point.
•The point is that as long as the social conflict between two parts of Ukraine grows, there will be no effective political decisions and government will remain weak. Eighty-five percent of Ukrainians in May 2009 told Gallup they disapprove of the job performance of their countrys leadership, up from 75% in 2008 and 73% in 2007. The 4% of Ukrainians who approve is not only the lowest rating Gallup has ever measured in former Soviet countries, but also the lowest in the world.
