'Tymoshenko .. did nothing to reform economy and establish rule of law.'

<blockquote>'Tymoshenko['s] .. track record as prime minister in 2005 and between 2007 until 2010 will be under scrutiny, because the demonstrators are demanding a zero tolerance of corruption after the demise of President Yanukovych. “Tymoshenko belongs to the old generation of Ukrainian politics”, Orysia Lutsevych, a Ukrainian analyst based at Chatham House, told 'The Independent'. “After the Orange Revolution she did nothing to reform economy and establish rule of law. Instead, she focused her attention on infighting inside the Orange Coalition in order to prepare her presidential race. Most people on the [Maidan] square were not demanding her release.” '

'..the Kremlin to create a national conflict, which in reality is social conflict arising from rampant corruption in both countries.'

<blockquote>'The Russian language is not banned and never was in Ukraine. My relatives live in Dnepropetrovsk and speak Russian on an everyday basis, never was there an issue with them using this language. Discrimination of Russians is non-existent and is utter lie by the Kremlin to create a national conflict, which in reality is social conflict arising from rampant corruption in both countries.'
