Ukraine in Crisis: an observation
I have been following this situation quite closely, I posted a live link last night.Now something very revealing has just occurred. Yanukovich, the President, has just sacked his army chief..the dynamics of a revolution are that ,when the police lose control the regime resorts to the army.It seems to me that the army boss has refused to deploy troops against his own people.Now it all starts to unravel....
