Bush-Yushchenko epoch over. Obama-Tymoshenko epoch in, says V. Polokhalo

As stressed by V. Polokhalo, “President-elect Obama is a pragmatist supported by the majority of Americans. Yulia Tymoshenko is also supported by the majority of Ukrainians. Republicans were wary of Tymoshenko, but the win by Democrats gives hope that the US will soften its stand toward the premier.”

Following the end of the Bush epoch, NATO integration trends in Ukraine promoted by Pres Yushchenko will become weaker. As a new generation and liberal politician, B. Obama will prefer to deal with those Ukrainian politicians who are similar to him.
