Or to scrape together enough money for salaries and pensions for civil servants and pensioners. Or will the Maidan provide for them?) The West hasn't given Ukraine a single penny, and if they really cared about the people, as they claim, they would have stepped aside and not been constantly interfering!!

Artem, what nonsense are you talking about? Up to 30% of the state budget is being embezzled, and there are about 70-80 billion USD stashed away from all the previous years (although they claim it's less), what pensions are we talking about? The money is needed to put on a show of saving the homeland.

Did they tell you that on the Maidan? :)

Ukraine currently has practically the maximum possible level of sovereignty. To increase it further, it needs bombs and missiles. Otherwise, its sovereignty will only decrease, regardless of which direction it leans – towards the West or the East.

What is the point of saying this? Can we stop thinking in stereotypes? Does everyone really need missiles to live normally, or should we all emulate the monsters around us? We have a great country, with sufficient infrastructure and prospects. Plus, we have formed a democratic society, and I understand that it is envied.

Just say it outright, we want portraits of McCain :D

Yes, McCain and others were simply shocked when they came and saw our Maidan. It's not filled with homeless people and the destitute (as you see on TV), but with decent, well-dressed, and beautiful people. Not a rabid youth like in the US or Ireland, France, ultra-right groups, or other marginalized groups. I repeat for the hundredth time, stop talking about the vectors of the West and the East, what is better and what is worse – this is an eternal topic. The people came out to overthrow the government. They came out on their own, from the common people to the bourgeoisie. And this is the greatest event in modern history. And no rotosei and smart alecks will be able to tarnish it. Just be envious.

P.S.: Regardless, the current government should be thanked for helping to create such a society with its own opinion and will.
