Tymoshenko keeps low profile on S Osseyia because of her deal with Russia, Taras Vozniak says

Premier Yulia Tymoshenko keeps a low profile on the situation in Southern Ossetia. Her silence can be explained by her deal with Russia, for instance, in exchange for Russian support for her in the future presidential election in Ukraine. The same can be said about Speaker Yatseniuk. The only person who is adamant in his support for Georgia is Pres Yushchenko, says political expert and editor of the independent “I” magazine Taras Vozniak, commenting to| ZIK on the escalation of the conflict in S Ossetia.

“I don’t think Ukraine will be directly involved in the conflict. Ukraine can participate only in a humanitarian and diplomatic sense. Russia has shown again that it wipes its feet on international laws and borders to resolve its problems. Russia is eager to keep fuel pipe lines under its control and derail Ukraine’s projects aimed at diversifying its supply sources, notably the Odesa-Brody project that can be extended to the Caucasus,” Vozniak opined.
Taras Vozniak is convinced that Russia will ignore the ban imposed by Ukraine for its Black Sea vessels involved in naval operations near Georgia to return to Sevastopol. “The weakness of the Ukrainian regime will reveal itself to the full. It will be accompanies by a divide in the executive,” he added.
“Had Georgia been a NATO member or a candidate for membership, Russia would not have dared to behave that brazenly. In such a way, Russia is blocking Georgia’s and Ukraine’s entry in NATO,” he believes, adding that Ukraine’s swift accession to the alliance is the only salvation for Ukraine not to see Russian tanks in Sevastopol and Lviv.

  Dude, you really sound angry. What's wrong with you?
  It seems to me that you need anger management classes.
  Get help before it's too late.
  I know you can do it.

- Its interesting reading all the comments blaming the USA for all that gose wrong in todays world. But when I read on I don't see any comments of other super powers (as they think of themselfs) stepping up to the plate to end poverty, give billions of dollars or rubles of aid, send military help to other countries in need, or have free press imbeded with ongoing military conflicts to report the real news. I guess you people are the real haters, envyous of our way of life. But don't hate us to much because you might change your mind soon when the next conflict arises and you come callin to the big bad USA for help. Energy independence will change the world next, and the USA will lead. Then you will be sucking up to the Big Bear in the East to provide you with oil. Because have no false illusions The Bear is in this for money and he will choke you all. Like the bitches you are.

- Im from Australia, living in penrith sydney. these past two weeks we have watched. and i am very disappointed that the NATO and the EU does not support Russia. The west lead by USA lies and more lies we see, we hear, only God himself has answer to this.My opinion is to respect your elders if you Ukrainian know what is good for your own people. tell the US to go fuck themselves.

- What a shame. How easy it is to turn Brother against brother, love for money - the root of all evil. All this, is people making money at an expense of lives of soldiers and civilians. West is playing a dangerous game, meddling between neiboirs and brothers like Ukranians and Russians!

- Sooner the west accepts that it does not have the rescources to grow further, the sooner the world will no longer have to listen to their war mongering words.
  Looks like the west will have to reduce it's population yet againn.
  They may have to murder them themself this time.
  Thats why we have a false war on terror !
  Long live Russia, the last bastion of freedom

- The South Ossetia and Abkhazia will seek independence from Tbilisi under international law, the leaders of Georgia's two rebel regions said Thursday at a joint news conference in Moscow. South Ossetia's Eduard Kokoity said Georgia's attack on August 8 (Olympcs Departure) made it possible for the two separatist provinces to seek further international recognition, because US President Bush begin an terrorist attack from Georgia to South Ossetia in agreement with Israel to confront Russia and lies with the media. Excellent Prime Minister Putin will go by the correct way and the world will be said the true. CIA and NATO criminal agents were involved in this attack to led Russia under the watch of the world.

- to the "French" bastard: your rudeness and aggressiveness shows you are much more russian than French. Yes, you are right that I am from Western Ukraine, Lviv. Makes me feel better you were able to recognize the difference. I' m proud to be a nationalist, the follower of Stepan Bandera, another victim of your KGB murderers, and I do care about Ukraine and its real freedom from russian stupid bastards. I got to US for the student's internship with two master's degrees from Lviv, and, unfortunately, was able to make a better career in this country than in destroyed by soviets Ukraine. As for CIA, I am pretty sure, they wouldn't murder Ukrainians or any other nations just for speaking your native language or being a highly intelligent person, like KGB have been doing to us in order to eliminate Ukrainians as a nation; unless, of course, you surrender, speak russian, and obey them completely. Show me one nation in the world, who wouldn't want to be free!
  Russians shouldn't be in Ukraine, US or France, winning a Green card or any other way, they belong to the swamps and Siberia, where their tribes came from, with lots of bears and bottles of vodka. Let them party over there day and night!

- "Putin is a former KGB agent. What kind of country is it if it's ruled by people like him? Can we trust them? Never!!!"
  G Bush dady was former CIA godfather. And little junior was... AWOL.
  Nice trustees, these war criminals.
  So bad France didn't join the Soviet Union in time !
  And what about these idiot green cards lottery. Who can be sane and accept to be treated such an humiliating way.
  And, BTW, who would be stupid enough to quit his country and got in this shit bin ?
  Oh, yes... you... Former Galitzen fag, cicilian Jews killers, I guess.

- Interesthing that Ukraine seems to prefer dependence on american politics above being a truely free country, and stand firm as an independent sovereign nation.
  It will be ukrainian boys who will be recruited by NATO to start an attack on Russia, once Bush's 'defenceshield against Iran' is in place. You ukrainians do the killing and destroy europe, while our american freinds ca$h in on the warprofits from their isolated american mainland. Besides..it's remarkable that all the presidents from 'new Europe" supporting Shakasvili this morning, all (except Poland) seem to be from countries that were very eager to side with nazi Germany during WW@, and take part in attacking Russia.
  Besides this.. NATO promised in 1990, and during the termination of the Warsaw pact, to NOT advance NATO forces into eastern Europe. A promise that is mentioned as well by Mihail Gorbachev, the very single man who gave all you countries their independence in the first place.. (helped with a well organised CIA funded 'orange revolution, of course;)

  NO country would want defence from twats like you

- Russia already has Ukraine in its pocket. Why?, Because half of Ukrainians are too stupid to realize that under Russian rule they will be treated like second class citizens, but hey at least they don't have to try to learn a different language in order to intergrate with the west or learn how to behave like the rest of the civilized world. The other half, especially the government official will sell out and support whatever Russia wants, as long as they get some money out of it.
  I am disappointed in Ukraine and I do not see anything good in their future.

- You degenerated Galician, you're less an Ukrainain than the result of a monkey father and a pig mother. Now you saw what NATO can do to help its friends. Still wanna suck US dick ? Oh, sure ! you're gay and do it for free.
  You know what ? Israel will fuck your fascist butts before the Russians come to free Crimea and Dombass.
  Smert fashistam.

- Good response....we'll exterminate the mockali in moscow and st. petersburg thru actions which will lead to the ultimate destruction of the mosckal monkey federation. We destroyed their soviet union....and now we'll destroy what little is left of their baboon republic. Smert mockalyam! Guaranteed.
