Regarding the events in Ukraine. I ask Ukrainians to answer the questions first, without arguing or insulting anyone! The goal is to understand the situation, not to lecture you or spout nonsense. After all, we in Russia have our own ruler and our own problems! 1. Do you support the current "Euromaidan" or not? What are the differences between it and the previous one, 10 years ago? 2. What do you dislike about the current president? Preferably, briefly. 3. Do you think Ukraine as a whole will benefit or not from joining the EU? Are you aware of the advantages (concessions) that need to be made when joining? Are you aware of the advantages (concessions) of joining the Customs Union? What are these advantages/concessions? 4. If borders are opened, high-quality European goods will obviously flood into Ukraine at prices comparable to domestic ones. Will you continue to support your domestic producers with your wallet? And the rest? How do you think this might affect businesses? Will they stay afloat? The main sales market – Russia – will automatically close (because the Russian Federation fears that cheap goods will transit through Ukraine into Russia). Do you think the EU will allow industries, for example, the automotive industry, to sell Ukrainian products in its countries? How competitive will it be with the advanced technologies of the EU? Will they promote their own manufacturers to provide Ukraine with new sales markets in exchange for the old ones? 5. Why would the EU, which is experiencing a prolonged economic crisis, want to accept new members that will have to be subsidized in one way or another? And why would the USA want this? And why would Lithuania, Poland, and Sweden want this? 6. Do you expect that in Europe (with unemployment exceeding 20%), they will be happy to have labor from Ukraine? And what kind of work will it be? 7. If there were elections tomorrow, who would you vote for? 8. What is your attitude towards the USSR and the collapse of the Union? In principle, answering these questions is enough, and nothing else needs to be discussed. And I ask everyone, especially Russians, to be restrained!
I wanted to read about Dynamo, but now even purely football websites are filled with Euromaidan news. So, this guy in two paragraphs clearly explained what is happening now and gave an answer to your 7th question, which primarily shapes my opinion about what is happening. "Everyone is shouting "Yanukovych out! Yanukovych out!" But what does Yanukovych have to do with it? Stop bleating like sheep. Yanukovych has been disgracing the country for 4 years, why are everyone suddenly protesting now? Why not after the increase in the retirement age, why not after the events in Vradiivka? Because the sheep were told to! The patriots don't even know what they are standing for! "Remove Yanukovych!" Ugh! You're just spoiling the city. We stood like this in 2004, and WHAT? We ourselves worked as slaves for the right person, and we thought we were making a revolution. HA-HA! Even if you manage to achieve Yanukovych's removal now, due to the lack of your brains, it will be even worse in a year. A revolution is when there is an idea in people! Their own idea, what they want, who they want! But just to remove one person, that's not a revolution. You are just a tool for controlling other bandits. Don't flatter yourselves!" "I also don't quite understand how people condemn Yanukovych, like he's a bandit! But they want Yulia, who stole and killed, even if not herself. I clearly don't understand something. Plus the rest. A fascist – one, a brainless puppet, a boxer – two. And a cunning, creepy Jew – three. If there were worthy candidates who were not allowed to take power fairly, I would stand there myself. But I won't even lift a finger for these people. Because at a minimum, they are not better than Yanukovych." http://dynamo.kiev.ua/blog/163781.html
